Corfiot fish stew with sweet and hot red pepper, onion and lemon.
About Bourdeto
Bourdeto is a Corfiot fish stew with a concentrated red-pepper sauce. AtCorfu presents this scorpionfish-and-perch recipe as the traditional style of Benitses and southern Corfu, within a wider island family of village variations.
Onion softens in olive oil before sweet and hot red pepper flavour the cooking liquid. Lemon juice finishes the sauce, bringing acidity alongside the pepper heat and the flavour of the fish.
The fish cook with their heads retained, surrounded by a reduced, thick sauce. Bread accompanies the finished stew to take up the sauce, and the publisher calls for immediate service.
