Baccalà alla ghiotta

/5

PRESENTATION

Codfish alla ghiotta brings together the most characteristic ingredients of Sicilian cuisine: raisins, pine nuts, capers, and olives are added to potatoes and tomato pulp for a tasty main fish dish of the Mediterranean tradition. The stewing keeps the codfish soft and juicy, while the flavorful sauce will be an irresistible call for 'scarpetta'... even though it's often customary to use the leftover sauce to prepare a good plate of pasta. We still recommend bringing some slices of rustic bread to the table because the codfish alla ghiotta is so tempting that it will likely be gone in one sitting!
