Description:
Known as “Buridda”, this is one of the oldest fish recipes in Genua. The name is of Arabic origin
and the recipe reached the harbour city during the time of medieval trade. Back then, it was
primarily a meal for the poorer folk, as it lends itself to using up leftovers.
The classical recipe is prepared with stockfish, but naturally, the ingredient can be adjusted to
taste.

Preparation:
Chop onion, garlic, celery, carrot and parsley and fry in a frying pan with plenty of olive oil. Add
sliced anchovy.
Add the finely chopped stockfish while stirring continuously and fry for a few minutes. Add
mushrooms, pine nuts and white wine.
Press the peeled tomatoes and add as soon as the wine has evaporated. Mix well and spice

Cover and boil for one hour. Take care that the Buridda doesn’t stick to the pan. If it does, add
some water and stir well. Serve hot.
