Gregada
Dalmatian Fish Stew
Gregada is a traditional Dalmatian fish stew, originating from the island of Hvar. It's a simple yet flavorful dish made with various white fish, potatoes, onions, garlic, white wine, and olive oil, all slow-cooked to perfection. Unlike other fish stews, Gregada is not typically thickened with tomato or other heavy bases, allowing the delicate flavors of the fish and vegetables to shine through. It's often considered a fisherman's dish, prepared with the catch of the day.

👨🍳 Istruzioni
- 1
In a wide, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven, layer the sliced onions and minced garlic.

Arrange the sliced potatoes over the onions and garlic.
💡 Consigli Professionali: Using waxy potatoes prevents them from falling apart during cooking. - 3

💡 Consigli Professionali: Using a variety of fish adds complexity to the flavor. - 4
Drizzle generously with olive oil, season with salt and freshly ground black pepper, and add the sprig of rosemary.

Pour in the dry white wine. If the pot seems dry, add a little water.
💡 Consigli Professionali: The liquid should come up to about halfway the height of the ingredients. - 6
Cover the pot tightly with a lid and simmer over medium-low heat for about 30-35 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and the potatoes are tender.
