Marmitako is an excellent representative of the Basque Country cuisine, a tuna stew made in a pot with various other ingredients such as potatoes, tomatoes, chili, and onions. The name of the dish is derived from the Basque word marmita , denoting a pot or a casserole . When combined with the suffix –ko , it can be literally translated as from the pot . Originally, the stew was invented on fishing boats near the Spanish coast, and while tuna is the most authentic option, today there are numerous variations on the dish, depending on the type of fish used in the preparation of marmitako. The stew is characterized by its thick consistency, mostly due to starchy potatoes. It is recommended to prepare this flavorful stew a day in advance, then garnish it with parsley and pair it with a glass of white wine.
