Marmitako
Description
The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. I tried this dish in Spain and decided to make it at home—it's not too difficult. The only thing missing is the abundance of fresh seafood available at Spanish markets. To prepare marmitako, you'll need boneless tuna fillet; you can buy fresh-frozen tuna at the supermarket. The tuna turns out very tasty, the white wine gives it a rich aroma, and the fish contains fewer calories than meat. See the recipe with photos. The finished dish can now be served.
