Hispanic cuisine includes dishes from various countries.
Food plays a big role in many Hispanic cultures and
families, and a celebration of Hispanic heritage would
not be complete without an authentic Hispanic meal.
Marmitako is a Basque fi shermen’s stew that was once
eaten on the tuna fi shing boats along the Cantabrian
Sea along the northern coast of Spain. Whether you
want to celebrate your own Hispanic heritage or
indulge in one of the many culinary delights that trace
their roots to Hispanic countries, the following recipe
for “Marmitako (Tuna and Potato Stew)” from James
Campbell Caruso’s “España: Exploring the Flavors of
Spain” (Gibbs Smith) is sure to please.
Boil potatoes in salted water until
soft ; set aside. While potatoes are
boiling, sauté the red pepper and
onion in 1⁄4 cup olive oil with a little
salt and the vinegar over low heat
until caramelized, about 45 minutes.
Th en add the cooked potatoes and
all other ingredients except the tuna to the red pepper-
and-onion mixture. Cook for another 15 minutes.
Prepare 4 small plates. Place 3 tablespoons of the
vegetable mixture on each plate. Adjust salt. Preheat a
plancha or cast-iron skillet on high. Drizzle 1 teaspoon
olive oil on each piece of tuna and sprinkle with salt
and black pepper. Sear the tuna on the plancha for 1
minute per side. Serve on top of the vegetable mixture,
one piece of tuna per plate.
