Ingredients

kg of various fish (cod-fish, sea-bass and similar, or crabs, shrimps etc.)

olive oil

3 large onions, finely minced

3 garlic cloves, finely minced

1 bay leaf

fistful of raisins

0,05 vinegar

0,5 l strained tomato, or 3-4 whole fresh tomatoes very finely minced

salt, pepper, parsley leaves, sugar

Preparation

For this meal you have to have large round pot with low rim. Put olive oil in a pot and sauté the onion until it is soft. Put fish (if it is too big cut it in portions), fry very shortly, add garlic and bay leaf. DO NOT STIRR with any kind of ladle, just shake the whole pot. Add vinegar, cook gently for 2 more min, add tomato, salt, pepper, raisins and water to cover fish. Cook open for 50-60 min. Add water if evaporates too quickly. Try it: if it’s too sour, add sugar. At the end add parsley leaves and some more olive oil. Serve with hard corn-mush (palenta, as we say).
