Marmitako

Marmitako is a Basque stew of tuna and potatoes. Onion and garlic are softened in olive oil, followed by fresh peppers, the flesh of dried choricero peppers and tomato. Diced potatoes then cook in water or a stock made with fish trimmings. The tuna is added near the end, after the potatoes and vegetables have cooked, rather than spending the whole cooking time in the pot.^[1]

The dish is associated with Basque fishing boats and meals prepared for their crews. Its name refers to the marmita, the cooking vessel used for the stew.^[2]
