From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ingredients and preparation
Buridda's primary ingredients include seafood, fish broth, tomato, onion and garlic.[3] Traditionally, the soup was served with gallette del marinaio (dry, round bread buns), which would be soaked in it.[3] In contemporary times, toasted bread may be used.[3] It may contain several types of fish, and additional seafoods may include eel, squid,[4] clams or mussels.[3] Simple preparations may be cooked with only dried cod and potato.[4]
Varieties
Buridda alla genovese is a variation that is prepared with the same base ingredients, and may also include shrimp and octopus.[5] It has been described as a "traditional dish from Genoa".[5]
Cioppino is an Italian-American seafood stew invented in the 1800s in San Francisco by people from Genoa, and it is a type of buridda.[6]
Buridda is related to bourride, a fish soup of Provence and the burrida of Sardinia, a dish made of shark meat.
