Of course, just about everything in Basque cooking comes 'from the pot', but only this venerable dish goes by that name. Originally it was cooked on board fishing boats - and still is - but for decades now it has appeared on restaurant menus in the Basque Country, sometimes even prepared with salmon.

You can prepare marmitako up to the point a which the tuna is added, and then reheat the stew up to a day later and add the tuna.

The crown of colorful vegetables not only looks pretty but also infuses the fish with sensational flavor. Sat, 03 Dec 2011 07:23:40 GMT
