Basque Tuna & Potato Casserole image

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!

Categories     Tuna

Time 55m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 lbs fresh tuna
5 tablespoons olive oil
1 onion, diced
4 garlic cloves, chopped fine but not minced
2 green peppers, diced
2 large tomatoes, seeded and diced
1 teaspoon paprika
1 fresh chili peppers or 1 pinch cayenne
1/2 teaspoon sea salt (or to taste)
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 lbs potatoes, peeled and sliced
water
1/2 cup white wine (optional)
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, minced (optional)

Steps:

  • 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!
