Salt ???? Chopped fresh parsley to decorate (optional) ???? Easy tuna marmitako recipe, step by step: 1️⃣ Chop the onion, green pepper and garlic clove. 2️⃣ Put the olive oil and the chopped garlic clove in a pot. Cook over low heat and, when the garlic starts to brown, add the onion and green pepper with a pinch of salt. Cook until very soft. 3️⃣ Add the paprika and cook for 15 seconds. Add the meat of the choricero pepper, stir for about 30 seconds and add the fried tomato. Pour in the wine and let it cook for a couple of minutes, until the alcohol evaporates. 4️⃣ Add the peeled and chopped potatoes and the fish stock. Cover the pot with the lid and turn up the heat. When the stock starts to boil, lower the heat and cook the potatoes over low heat, about 20-25 minutes, until you see that they are tender when you prick them with a fork. During cooking, stir in a circular motion with the pot so that the potatoes do not break. In the last few minutes, adjust the salt if necessary. 5️⃣ Turn off the heat and add the bonito cubes. Cover the pot and let it rest for 5 minutes to cook. 6️⃣ Serve with a little chopped fresh parsley (optional). You can eat it hot or warm. ???? Notes for preparing the marmitako recipe with northern bonito and potatoes: ????It is a typical dish from the Basque Country in summer, when it is the season for northern bonito. It is not as hot there as in other areas of Spain and these dishes are appetizing. ????Like any traditional recipe, each house has its own way of preparing it. Some people add carrot or red pepper to the sauce, some bay leaves. Those who love spicy food add some piparra or cayenne pepper. So you can adapt the recipe to your taste. ????You can use the base of the stew to make salmon or squid marmitako... ????If you have to heat it, do not let it boil again, as the tuna will dry out.
