Marmitako is a Basque fisherman’s stew of fresh tuna, potatoes, peppers, and tomatoes, simmered in the boats that once caught the catch of the day. The tuna stays in big, juicy chunks that flake apart at the touch of a fork.
The name comes from the marmita, the pot it was cooked in, and the dish remains a coastal classic today. Serve it in deep bowls with crusty bread and a squeeze of lemon.
