Brodetto Italian fisherman stew

A properly authentic brodetto (Italian fish stew) from Ancone, in Le Marche, contains an unfeasible 13 types of fish and shellfish to symbolise Jesus and his disciples. Typically it was a mix of whatever the fishermen couldn’t sell. This makes a true brodetto a rather expensive affair today. We’ve kept it simpler with white fish, mussels and langoustines, but you can go all out and add as many (or as few) fish and shellfish as you like – the flavoursome tomato, fennel and saffron broth is the real star of the show.

Ingredients

Savoy cabbage and pork stuffing
