Silba…there is an island on the Adriatic where I went every summer as a little girl, not long ago my parents built a house on it for family vacations.

it is a nature preserve and the water is clear and super clean, there is not much to do there except read, swim and eat…but for a week it’s all you need to get relaxed and empty out your mind of jibber jabber

dad’s croatian fish soup

Posted in europe, food, Recipes, tagged , , , , , , on September 24, 2010| 4 Comments »

this is an amazing soup my dad makes in Croatia with fresh fish and some very basic ingredients

here is his recipe, written by him
Tatin Brudetto
2-3 onions(med to large)
olive oil-3-4 tablespoons
tomato fresh or minced, about a small to med can
garlic a clove sliced finely
lorber leaves
parsley chopped
1 lbs chicken broth
1-2 tablespoons of vinegar-Balsamic or white wine
salt (quite a bit to taste)
cayenne pepper-to taste(hot)
First sautee chopped onions in olive oil till soft(not burned),then add tomato(paste,fresh or minced), cayenne,a few leaves of lorber,broken for flavor,sautee for a few minutes together, may add black pepper,garlic. Now comes the fish,shells if you have any,it is better if you have a few different fishes.Salt and pour 1/2 to 1 lbs of chicken broth.Usually to cover the fish. I like more juice , so I add a bit more depending on a fish.Some is more watery than others.
Cook for about 15-25 minutes, again depending on a fish. I added some octopus,sauteed it first than added fish.
Hope it serves you well and
BON APPETITE !
Love Dad
