Ingredients:

  • 500 g of dried shark
  • 3 onions
  • 5 cloves of garlic
  • 2 spoonful leaves of fresh parsley
  • 2 tablespoons of tomato concentrate
  • 1.30 kg of potatoes
  • 1 tablespoon of paprika
  • two pinches of Nin salt
  • ½ teaspoon of pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon of chili pepper

 

Preparation:

Soak dried sea fish (shark, ray, etc.) in cold water the day before. After a few hours, change the water in which the fish was soaked. Take the fish out of the water and throw it away. Cut off the hard part around the head and tail with kitchen scissors or a knife. Tear the fish into pieces about two fingers long and wide. Put the fish in the dish.

Peel the potatoes, then dry them and tear them into slices (feta) the thickness of one finger and place them in another preparation container. Chop the onion, garlic and parsley into small pieces. Pour 2 tablespoons of olive oil into a pot with a wide bottom and place the prepared onion, garlic and parsley on it. Above that, add a row of potatoes torn into feta and lay the pieces of shark on top of that, and finally place the potato feta. Season with salt, pepper and add ground sweet peppers. Some families do not use paprika, so it is not a necessary ingredient. Mix the tomato concentrate in half a liter of water and pour over the brudet. It is necessary to add more water to cover all the ingredients. Boil the brudet for about 40 minutes. Brudet should not be stirred, but the pot should be shaken every now and then so that the dish does not burn. At the end of the preparation of the dish, check whether the potatoes are ready, and check the pieces of meat to make sure that the brudet is cooked. To enhance the aroma, a little chili pepper can be added to the brudet at the end. Recommendation: Get fish from local fishermen because they make sure it doesn’t dry out. Traditionally, the fish is dried for several days on the bora. This dish is easy to prepare, because all the ingredients are put in a pot, put on the fire, occasionally the pot is shaken so that the contents do not stick to the bottom.
