Directions
Make the potato rounds
Bring potatoes, 4 cups water, and salt to a boil in a small
saucepan over high. Reduce heat to medium-high, and cook potatoes, undisturbed,
until just tender, 15 to 18 minutes. Remove from heat, and let potatoes cool in
water 30 minutes; drain. Peel potatoes, and slice crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick
rounds. Set aside.
Meanwhile, make the pomarola
Puree tomatoes in a food processor until smooth, about 10
seconds; set aside. Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium. Add onion,
garlic, and salt; cook, stirring often, until onion is mostly translucent,
about 4 minutes. Add bay leaves, paprika, and black pepper. Cook, stirring
constantly, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in pureed plum tomatoes, and
gently simmer, stirring occasionally, until sauce thickens and is slightly
chunky, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat. Season with sugar to taste.
Make the chupín
Preheat oven to 425°F. Season grouper with salt, and let
stand 15 minutes. Meanwhile, stir fish broth, chickpeas, olives, bell pepper
strips, and capers into pomarola. Bring to a boil over high. Reduce heat to
medium-high, and simmer, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes. Remove from
heat, and pour into a 12-inch nonreactive ovenproof skillet. Nestle grouper in
sauce. Bake in preheated oven 9 minutes. Remove from oven; gently flip grouper
using a spatula, and add potato rounds. Return to oven, and bake until fish is
opaque and easily flakes with a fork and a thermometer inserted in thickest
portion of grouper registers 135°F, 9 to 12 minutes. Drizzle with additional
olive oil. Garnish with black pepper and parsley. Serve immediately.
