Ingredients
Fish
1 pound large prawns, cleaned and deveined
2 whole crabs, cracked, cleaned and broken into legs and body halves
2 dozen clams, mussels or oysters
1 dozen scallops (if you are feeling rich)
1 fillet of fish per person, use halibut, cod or similar firm fish (very flaky fish will simply melt into the sauce), cut into chunks
2 bunches chard
Sauce
Olive oil
1 medium onion
2 cloves garlic
1 can (#2 ½) tomatoes
1 large can marinara sauce (can use tomato sauce and small tomato paste and cut with wine)
salt
pepper
basil
thyme
rosemary
red pepper flakes (optional)
½ cup chopped parsley, flat leaf
Directions
To make sauce
1. Saute onion and garlic
2. Add tomatoes -- if whole crush with hands -- and marinara sauce to the pot.
3. Season with salt, pepper, basil, thyme, rosemary and red pepper
4. Add chopped parsley
5. Let sauce simmer for 30 to 45 minutes. If it starts to get too thick, add a little red wine.
In large pot
Layer fish with sauce and layer in chard. Put prawns near top layer since they need the least cooking -- can add in last 15 minutes of cooking if you want.
Cover with chard on top
Bake 350 degrees for one hour
