Marmitako – Tuna Fisherman Style

A dish of the Basque fishermen. The name Marmitako comes from “Marmita”, the bulbous pot that the fishermen used to have on their boats.

Peel the potatoes, cut them into large cubes and put them in a saucepan with the bay leaf spice. Cover the potatoes with salted water and cook until tender.

Blanch (scald) the tomatoes, skin them, remove the stem ends and mash the tomatoes with a fork. Chop the onions and garlic.

Heat olive oil in a frying pan. Fry onions and garlic until golden brown. Add tomatoes, paprika and chili bell pepper. The latter only a few min in a frying pan and then remove. Boil the tomatoes, put them over the potatoes form and lightly roll.

Clean the tuna, remove the bones, cut into even pieces and season with salt. Just before the potatoes are cooked, add the fish to the pan and cook gently for another ten minutes.
