Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 800 g White fish (sea bass, hake, or cod)
- 500 g Potatoes
- 2 medium Onion
- 3 Garlic cloves
- 100 ml Olive oil
- 200 ml Dry white wine
- 500 ml Fish stock or water
- 3 tbsp Fresh parsley
- 1 Bay leaf
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 1 Lemon (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Start by cleaning the fish if it's not pre-filleted. Remove any scales, guts, and bones if necessary, and cut the fish into medium-sized portions. Set aside.
Peel the potatoes and slice them into 1 cm thick rounds. Set aside.
Slice the onions thinly and mince the garlic cloves.
Place a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Once the oil is warm, add the sliced onions and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they become soft and translucent.
Add the minced garlic and bay leaf to the pot, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned.
Layer the sliced potatoes over the onions, then season with salt and black pepper.
Pour the white wine over the potato layer, followed by the fish stock or water. The liquid should just cover the potatoes. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
Lower the heat, cover the pot, and let the potatoes simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until they are almost tender.
Place the fish portions on top of the potatoes, ensuring they are partially submerged in the liquid. Cover again and simmer gently for another 10-15 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the dish just before serving.
Serve the Gregada warm with a drizzle of olive oil and lemon wedges on the side, if desired.
