Mr. Brodetto
The authentic Vastese-style fish stew
The fishermen's recipe from the Costa dei Trabocchi: the most famous fish soup of the Adriatic Sea, with deep-sea fish, molluscs, and tomatoes.
Of all the variants on the Adriatic coast from Romagna to Molise, Brodetto alla Vastese is the one with the fastest cooking and freshest flavor. In fact, no passata is used, but rather a fresh local tomato (ideally the Mezzo Tempo tomato) and the green horn pepper.
In Brodetto, there is a wide variety of local fish and shellfish that are cooked whole, traditionally in a crock pot. A humble dish but rich in taste and freshness that expresses all the intensity of Mediterranean cuisine.
