Ibizan Fish Stew (El Bullit de Peix) recipe by Cherrypick

Bullit de Peix is a typical Ibizan fish dish with humble origins. Traditionally fisherman would prepare it fresh in the harbour, then give the leftover fish broth to their families to make paella.

Method

Based on 4 servings, adjust as needed.

Step 1

Peel and quarter each potato. Heat 1-2 tbsp olive oil in a very large pot over a medium-high heat and fry the potato, stirring occasionally, until slightly golden, 8-10 minutes.

Step 2

Meanwhile chop the tomato, garlic, onion and parsley stalks. Add everything to the pot, together with a splash of olive oil, and stir to combine over a medium heat. Cook for about 5 minutes until the onion is soft but not coloured.

Step 3

Next add the fish stock and 1 litre boiling water (if making for 4) to the pot, allowing the potato to cook until tender, 10-15 minutes.

Step 4

Now add the fish, ensuring it is fully submerged in the liquid, and saffron strands to the pan and poach for 5 minutes. Season to taste.

Step 5

Carefully ladle the fish, potato and a little fish broth into large wide bowls, and top with a dollop of alioli and parsley leaves to taste.
