Brodetto stew

Brodetto or brudet is a fish stew prepared in all parts of Dalmatian coast and islands. You can use any kind of fish but to have a final rich stew is recommended to use fish like angler fish, grouper fish, moray, conger eel and specially large scale scorpion fish. The last one is the one it must be there.

Another suggestion when preparing this stew is to cook it on medium heat and without stirring until the fich is over. I suggest to use instead of ready made tomato sauce, a fresh tomatoes cut in small slices. Dont miss famous Vegeta. Use only red wine vinegar.

Ingredients

1 kg. mixed fish
1/4 cup flour
1/4 cup olive oil
2 medium onions, chopped
4 large cloves garlic, minced
1 cup tomato pure mixed with 1/2 cup water
2 tblsp wine vinegar
1 tblsp Vegeta
2 tblsp chopped parsley
salt & pepper to taste

Cut fish into equal size chunks and flour lightly.
Heat the olive oil over medium-high heat and quickly fry the fish on all sides.
Remove the fish and reduce the heat to medium.
Add the onion and fry until soft.
Add the tomato mixture and the garlic and simmer for 10 minutes.
Add the vinegar mixture, the fish, Vegeta and parsley and cook over medium heat without stirring until the fish is done (about 10-15 minutes).
