Bacalla amb Samfaina
Ingredients
|
Directions
1. Desalt
the cod and steep it for some time, but not too long, so that it keeps the salt
a little bit.
2. Put the pepper and the aubergines cut in rough strips in a deep frying pan with the olive oil. 3. After 5 minutes, cut the tomatoes in small portions. Put them in the pan, and leave them to cook for 15 minutes. 4. Squeeze the cod with your hands, and put it in the pan with the tomatoes. Let it simmer for 30 minutes. Taste it and season, if necessary. Stir the pan so that the cod does not stick to the bottom of the pan. 5. Leave it to rest for 10 minutes, then serve. The traditional way of eating this dish is using the bread as a fork, placing the cod and the ratatouille inside. It’s delicious! |
Did you know?
You can tell what the cod have been eating by the
sharpness of their teeth. Codfish that primarily feed on baitfish like herring
or sand eels will have very sharp teeth.

Cod
is low in fat and rich in high biological value proteins. Its meat provides
minerals and vitamins, among which vitamin B6 or pyridoxine is the most
remarkable.
