Bacalao



Bacalao is another traditional Italian classic that fits in perfectly in the all-fish meal. A mixture of

salt cod, herbs and vegetables, this dish is best made the day before serving, to allow the flavors

to really come together.



1 pound salt cod, soaked overnight in cold water

1 onion, chopped

2 cloves garlic, finely chopped

1 bunch fresh oregano, chopped

2 tablespoon small capers, drained

1 cup extra virgin olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste.



1. Dry the cod, and coarsely chop the pieces.



2. In a sauté pan over low-medium heat, sweat the onions until soft. Add garlic and cook for

another minute.



3. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the chopped oregano and capers.



4. In a heat-resistant bowl, combine the cooked mixture and the cod, and stir well. The cod should

break down somewhat; complete by mashing the mixture while you stir (you may need to add a bit

more oil to keep the mixture moist). Season with pepper and very lightly with salt (both the cod

and the capers will add an abundance of salty flavor). Serve hot.



Yield: One quart.
