#60 Brodetto alla Vastese (Abruzzo)

Brodetto was born on the Abruzzo coast, cooked on the trabocchi with whatever the nets brought in. One pot and no stirring, just fish, tomatoes, vinegar, and a bit of patience. I made mine with five kinds of fish and when it hit the table the sauce was deep with the fish still whole, and the bread disappeared in minutes. Simple and better than most stews I’ve cooked in my life.

Full story with recipe, method, and tips coming soon on Substack (link in bio).

  2. A small tip for the saffron: crush it with a mortar and pestle and put the dust on top of an ice cube in a glass to get the most out of it.

  3. May I suggest you check out the CARDONE BENEVENTANO? Our president Napolitano used to have it during Christmas time and it’s still a classic in the Benevento city during that time of the year

  4. I love the concept at the base of your channel, as an Italian I'm sick of foreigners who think we're only about pizza and pasta. They know absolutely nothing about real Italian cuisine and how infinitely diverse it can be, I want your channel to get bigger and spread the verb!

  5. So many anecdotes of how fishermen use unwanted catch that cannot be sold and make wonderful stews and soups…what did the rich make with the good seafood that were sold? Any recipes?
