Time P1DT40m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 pound salt cod
2 tablespoons extra-vigin olive oil
1 small onion, thinly sliced
3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
2 pound plum tomatoes roasted, peeled and chopped
1/2 cup Manzanilla olives (about 25), cut in half
1/3 cup capers
1 pinch ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
4 pickled jalapenos, chopped (available in the Mexican section of any grocery store)
1/2 cup chopped Italian parsley
Salt, if necessary

Steps:

  • In a medium-size bowl put the cod fish, and cover with water and let it soak for 24 hours. Change the water a least 4 times in a period of 1 day.

Add the boiled potatoes. Remove from heat.
  • Place in a medium soup bowl, accompanied with toasted crusty French bread.

BACALAO A LA VIZCAINA (BASQUE STYLE CODFISH STEW)



Bacalao a la Vizcaina (Basque Style Codfish Stew) image

This Spanish-style fish stew from the Basque region of Spain is a traditional peasant dish popular in all Spanish-speaking countries (where each has given it their special twist). For example, in Mexico it is usually made for Christmas, New Year's Eve, and Lent; in Puerto Rico it is a year-round favorite but most enjoyed during Lent. This is one of the Puerto Rican versions.

Provided by Olha7397

Categories     Spanish

Time 6h30m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 lbs dried salt cod fish, best quality (use only the lean side portions, not the fatty center)
1/2 cup olive oil
1/4 cup lard
1/4 lb bacon, diced
1/4 lb smoked ham, diced
4 large mild red onions, chopped
2 garlic cloves
3 parsley sprigs
2 cups boiling water
8 -10 canned pimientos, diced (enough to give the finished dish a rich red color)
3 tomatoes, peeled, seeded, and cubed
2 hard-cooked egg yolks
water
1/2 cup soft breadcrumbs
salt and pepper
1 dash cayenne
sugar (optional)

Steps:

  • Cut cod into 6 equal servings.
  • To remove salt, soak about 20 hours in fresh cold water, changing water 4 to 5 times.
  • Several hours before you plan to cook the cod, start the sauce (for which they take over 5 hours in Spain, but you may need less).
  • In large skillet with cover, or Dutch oven, heat oil, 1/4 cup lard, bacon, and ham. When mixture bubbles, add onion, whole garlic cloves, and parsley. Cover, turn down heat as low as possible and cook for 3 hours, or until onion is very soft but not at all burned. Add boiling water and continue simmering for 2 hours longer, or until onions are completely fallen apart. Add more boiling water as necessary to keep from sticking. Add pimientos, tomatoes, and egg yolks mashed with bread crumbs and mixed to a fine paste with a little cold water. Simmer for a few minutes longer.
  • Put everything through a sieve, food mill, or blender so you have a smooth sauce. Add salt and pepper to taste, and if you want to be authentic, a dash of cayenne.
  • Meanwhile, when cod has soaked for 20 hours, dry it thoroughly with paper towels. Remove any scales, being careful not to damage the skin (which adds a smooth, gelatinous quality to the finished dish's sauce). In large saucepan, combine cod and unsalted cold water to cover; bring to a boil. As soon as water starts to boil, take out the pieces of cod; carefully remove bones.
  • Grease a heatproof casserole with lard or bacon fat. In it, arrange a layer of cod; pour sauce over; repeat until all the cod and sauce are used up. Sauce should cover the fish, not drown it. Cook slowly until fish is done, about 20 minutes.
  • During cooking, shake the casserole often so the sauce runs to the bottom. Also, with a wide pancake turner or spatula, losen the bottom layer of fish often to keep it from sticking, being careful not to break the pieces.
  • Taste from time to time, and add salt and pepper if necessary; or a pinch of sugar if the cod is make the sauce too salty.
  • Finished dish should be savory, neither too salty, too peppery, not too sweet, and of a good red color. Makes 6 servings.

BACALAO A LA VIZCAíNA (MEXICAN SALT COD STEW)



Bacalao a la vizcaína (Mexican salt cod stew) image

Try something different for dinner and enjoy this Mexican-inspired salt cod stew, packed with tomatoes, olives, capers, pickled chillies and almonds

Provided by Adriana Cavita

Categories     Dinner

Time 2h20m

Number Of Ingredients 11

750g salt cod
1.5kg tomatoes
250ml olive oil
4 medium white onions, sliced
7 large garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 small bunch of flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped
750g whole baby potatoes, cooked until just soft and peeled
175g jar güeros chillies or pickled chillies, reserve some of the pickling brine
60g capers
175g jar olives stuffed with red peppers
100g almonds, lightly toasted and chopped

Steps:

  • To prepare the salt cod, put it in a dish and submerge in cold water for 36-48 hrs before you want to cook it, changing the water five times within that time. Taste the cod after 36 hrs soaking. If the cod is still too salty, continue to soak for up to 48 hrs. The flavour will be distinctively salty but shouldn't be overpowering. Drain the cod and tip into a bowl. Using your hands, break the fish into 3cm-long shredded pieces, discarding any bones.
  • Cut 1kg of the tomatoes into small cubes. Deseed the remaining 500g, blitz in a blender, then strain through a fine sieve. Put a medium pan over a medium heat, heat the olive oil and cook the onion for around 15 mins until translucent, then add the garlic, followed by the chopped and blended tomatoes. Continue cooking for 40 mins over a medium heat, stirring often.
  • Add the salt cod and most of the parsley, and cook for about 15 mins. Add the potatoes, chillies, capers, olives and almonds, mix together, then cook for a further 30 mins. Taste it - if it needs more salt, add a little of the chilli pickling brine to season. Serve with the remaining parsley scattered over.

  • One or two days before cooking the dried codfish, place it a large bowl and cover it with water to soak. This step will soften the fish. Change the water at least 2 times during the soaking period, this will help to remove the saltiness.
  • On cooking day, drain the soaking water from the bowl, then rinse the fish at least 4 times. It is very important that you rinse it several times to remove the saltiness.
  • Fill a pot or large skillet with water, then add the fish and half an onion. Turn the heat to medium and cook. Immediately after it starts boiling, remove the pan from the heat. Once it cools off, remove the bones and slightly shred the fish meat.
  • While the fish is cooking, soak the almonds in a small bowl with hot water for 20 minutes to remove their skins.
