Ibiza Local Food

The Bullit de Peix is a typical dish of Ibiza and Formentera’s cuisine. Formerly this recipe was meant for smaller fish, whitebait type (“serrano”, “vacas”, “araña”,etc), where the main thing was to get the flavor out of this fish to impregnate into the cooked potatoes and especially into the rice. Today all the attention is focused on the fish quality, using the best product of our waters such as grouper, “gallo de San Pedro”, monkfish, “rotja”, etc.

It’s a very typical and ancient dish, so there are small details that each chef brings, to convert some establishments on the island in authentic references of Bullit de Peix.

    • STEPS TO DO:

      Let´s start with the preparation of fish, cut into pieces and salt it.

      Prepare vegetables for stir-fry, cutting them into small pieces, and remember it is important to peel tomatoes before use. At the same time (if you have an expert assistant) you can be preparing the Ali Oli. Garlic cloves are crushed with a pinch of salt in a mortar and when finely chopped, stir vigorously while pouring the oil. Trying to do the Ali Oli this way (the original) is a challenge for beginners, but is the only way to achieve the authentic accompaniment.

      For the Bullit, in a large pot place the vegetables, potatoes cut into wedges, anemones and crab cut into several pieces, bay leaves and soaté. When the pot has liquid on it, add a dash of white wine and put the saffron. Finish with the fish broth that must be previously prepared. Rectify salt and then let’s incorporate the fish according to their degree of hardness. It is important to be controlling and never boil over high heat. When potatoes are almost cooked, lower hardness fish is incorporated, for lower cooking.Add between 80/100 grams of rice per person, stir-fry the rice so that oils get impregnated, now add a chopped garlic and parsley and after add the Bullit fish broth. Rice is distributed throughout the pan, salt to taste, and do NOT touch it again. Check the doneness of rice, and remember to let it rest a few minutes.Serve the rice after Bullit of Peix. We recommend placing the pan in the middle of the table and eat directly from it, a very Ibizan experience. Find more information at Ibiza Foodie
