Cut the fish into large cubes and let it stand with a little of the salt.
Soften the onion, green peppers, red pepper, and garlic in olive oil for 7 minutes.
Add the tomato puree and sweet paprika, and cook for 5 minutes until thickened.
Crack the potatoes into large chunks, add them to the pot, and pour in the fish stock.
Cook the potatoes for 20 minutes with the lid slightly open.
Add the fish pieces to the pot and cook gently for 6 minutes.
Sprinkle with parsley and serve the marmitako hot.
💡 Tip: Do not cook the fish for a long time with the potatoes; large pieces added in the final 6 minutes stay juicy.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve marmitako hot in deep plates, with optional sourdough bread and an arugula salad.
