Buridda - Traditional Italian Fish Stew

Ingredients

• Olive oil (2 tablespoons)
• Onions (1 large, chopped)
• Garlic (3 cloves, minced)
• Potatoes (2 medium, peeled and diced)
• Tomatoes (4 medium, diced (or 1 can of diced tomatoes))
• White wine (1 cup)
• Fish stock (4 cups)
• Mixed seafood (1 pound (such as shrimp, mussels, and calamari))
• Fresh parsley (1/4 cup, chopped (for garnish))
• Salt (to taste)
• Black pepper (to taste)

Instructions

1. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
2. Add the chopped onions and minced garlic, sautéing until the onions are soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
3. Stir in the diced tomatoes and potatoes, cooking for an additional 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
4. Pour in the fish stock and white wine. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 20 minutes, allowing the potatoes to become tender.
5. Add the mixed seafood to the pot. Cover and cook for 20 minutes, or until the seafood is opaque and cooked through.
6. Season the stew with salt and pepper to taste, adjusting the flavors as desired.
7. Serve the buridda hot, garnished with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of color and flavor. Enjoy with crusty bread for dipping!
