Corbina Stew

Ingredients

• corbina (a white-fleshed South American croaker/sea bass)
• salt
• butter
• onion
• pepper
• tomatoes
• 1 clove garlic
• oregano
• 1/2 bottle good vinegar
• 1/2 bottle water
• pickled gherkins (pepinillos escabechados)
• black olives

Instructions

1. Cut the corbina into regular pieces and wash them several times in salted water.
2. In an enameled pan, over a layer of butter, lay onion slices with a light dusting of pepper, then a layer of corbina with another light dusting, and repeat until finished.
3. Cover with a sauce of roasted, deseeded, peeled and ground tomatoes, onions in rounds, pepper, a ground garlic clove, ground oregano, half a bottle of good vinegar and half a bottle of water.
4. Cook over a low fire until the onion is well cooked — then the stew is done.
5. Serve garnished with pickled gherkins and black olives.
