📖 The Story Behind This Dish

Brodet is a fishermen's dish of the Adriatic coast: whatever fish were caught that day are stewed with tomato, onion, and wine vinegar. Traditionally the pot isn't stirred but shaken to cook the contents. It's simmered until the liquid thickens and eaten with polenta (cornmeal porridge).

🌆 Where it's eaten: In a small Adriatic fishing port, fishermen back from sea shake a pot of brodet on their boat and share it in the setting sun.
