Marmitako is a traditional dish from Basque cuisine, originating in Spain. It is a dish with a rustic and comforting flavor, inspired by seafaring life. Its main ingredients are northern bonito (white tuna), potatoes, peppers, onions, tomatoes, garlic, and olive oil. The bonito is cut into chunks and cooked with the vegetables in a fish broth, which naturally thickens with the starch from the potatoes. It is seasoned with salt, pepper, paprika, and bay leaf, giving it its characteristic balanced and mild flavor. Marmitako is a dish appreciated for its simplicity and the quality of the fresh ingredients that compose it.
