Brudet

Brodet is a dish that combines the richness of the sea with the simplicity of Mediterranean cuisine in the best way. Different types of fish are chosen for it, such as grouper, eel or grouper, which are cleaned, washed and cut into pieces. In a pot, crushed garlic is briefly fried in olive oil, then sliced ​​bell peppers and pieces of tomato are added. The vegetables are stewed slowly, until they soften and turn into a fragrant stock that will hold the fish. After about half an hour of cooking on low heat, the pieces of fish, a little wine vinegar and lemon juice are added to the pot, along with bay leaves, salt and pepper. Everything is poured with just enough water to cover the fish, and the brodet continues to cook for another half hour, until the flavors combine and the sauce thickens. Finally, the dish is sprinkled with fresh parsley and served with mashed potatoes or boiled rice, which gives it a fullness and makes it a real meal for socializing. It is a dish that evokes the sea and the centuries-old tradition of Dalmatian cuisine with its aroma, color, and flavor.
