Basque Tuna & Potato Casserole

Description

Marmitako is a traditional Basque dish, which I have yet to make myself. I'm told it's delicious and seems very easy to make. I like the one pot idea! I'm unsure of the serving size, it seems like a lot to me for 4 people!

Cook Time : 35 Min

Total Time : 55 Min

Ingredients

Serves : 4
  • 2 fresh tuna


  • 5 olive oil


  • 1 onion


  • 4 garlic cloves


  • 2 green peppers


  • 2 tomatoes


  • 1 paprika


  • 1 fresh chili peppers


  • 1⁄2 sea salt


  • 1⁄4 pepper


  • 2 potatoes


  • water


  • 1⁄2 white wine


  • 2 fresh parsley

Directions

  • Cut the fish into large, chunky pieces (about 1 1/2 inch squares).
  • Heat the olive oil in a large stove-top safe casserole dish or pot. (I'd use a nice heavy cast iron pot). Add in the onion, garlic, peppers and tomatoes and fry over a low heat for about ten minutes.
  • When the onion is looking cooked, add the paprika, cayenne, salt and pepper and cook for another few minutes.
  • Add in the potatoes then add just enough water to cover the potatoes and veggies. Bring up to a gentle boil.
  • When the potatoes are nearly done, add in the tuna and the white wine and cook for a further 15 minutes All depending you may need to add a little more liquid if it's drying up, or let some cook off if it's too runny. Garnish with the parsley if using.
  • Serve with crusty bread and a salad!
