Bourdeto

The fiery red fish stew of Corfu: firm white fish simmered slowly with sweet onions, olive oil and a bold hit of hot paprika, with potato to soak up the peppery broth. No tomato, the colour and the heat come from the paprika alone.

Instructions

  1. Rinse the 200 g of scorpion fish steaks, pat them dry and season with 0.5 tsp of salt. Leave on a plate while you start the sauce, the salt firms the flesh so it holds together in the stew.
  2. Warm 1.5 tbsp of olive oil in a wide shallow pan over low heat. Add 1 thinly sliced onion and 1 clove of chopped garlic with a pinch of salt and cook gently for 8-10 minutes, stirring, until completely soft and translucent but not coloured, browning would spoil the clean red colour.
  3. Pull the pan off the heat and stir in 1 tsp of hot paprika and 1 tsp of sweet paprika so they bloom in the oil for a few seconds without scorching. Return to the heat, pour in 200 ml of water and add plenty of freshly ground black pepper.
