How to Make Pancotto Recipe from Viareggio:

1. Prepare all the ingredients you need to make Viareggio pancotto. Break the bread slices and soak them in a bowl of water for at least an hour. Meanwhile, clean all the fish: peel the prawns and remove the black back fillet, clean the squid and cut into ordinary pieces, put the scallops in cold salted water.
2. Prepare the fish stock, according to the basic recipe and also use shrimp shells. Finally, drain the clams from the cleaning water, rinse under running water and leave open over high heat in a covered saucepan.
3. Once everything is ready, heat a lot of oil in a large skillet and fry a clove of garlic and a piece of chili. Add tomato paste diluted in a little hot water, a glass of wine, and simmer over high heat for a few minutes.
4. Add the peeled, seeded, and chopped tomatoes and stir, then add the peeled squid and scallops.
5. Squeeze the bread well, add it to the sauce and cook for about 30 minutes, sprinkling occasionally with the fish stock. One minute from the end of cooking, add the prawns and a sprig of finely chopped fresh parsley. Serve the pancotto di Viareggio hot or warm at the table.
