Remy's Tuscan Seafood Stew
Dreary January calls for a big pot of stew simmering on the stove, and after the meat-heavy fare of the holidays, Remy’s Kitchen and Wine Bar’s Tuscan Seafood Stew is just the thing: Seafood keeps things light, onion and garlic lend robust flavor, and a spicy tomato broth adds heat to chilly winter days.
