This Italian-style stew — called cioppino — makes a hearty supper. Serve it with a green salad, garlic bread and a crisp white wine.

1/4cup olive oil

1 1/4 cups chopped onion

2 tablespoons chopped garlic

4 teaspoons dried oregano

1 1/2 teaspoons fennel seeds

2 1/2 cups crushed tomatoes with added puree

2 1/2 cups bottled clam juice

1 cup dry white wine

2 6 1/2-ounce cans chopped clams, drained, liquid reserved

1 pound uncooked large shrimp, peeled, deveined

1 6-ounce can crabmeat, drained

1/2 cup chopped fresh basil

Cayenne pepper

Heat olive oil in heavy large pot over medium heat. Add onion, garlic, oregano and fennel seeds and sauté until onion is tender, about 8 minutes. Add tomatoes, clam juice, white wine and liquid reserved from clams. Increase heat and boil until slightly thickened, about 15 minutes. Add clams, shrimp and crabmeat. Reduce heat and simmer 2 minutes. Mix in fresh basil and simmer until shrimp are just opaque in center, about 2 minutes longer. Season stew to taste with cayenne, salt and pepper.
