ROASTED COD AND POTATOES



Roasted Cod and Potatoes image

When one of my daughters, Emma, was young, there was a time when her main passion in life was potatoes, especially crispy ones. For one special occasion, I produced a classic French dish, potatoes Anna, in which potatoes are thin-sliced, drenched in butter, carefully layered and roasted until golden. This was an error, of course; potatoes Anna is a pain to make. Naturally, the demand was unrelenting thereafter. So, in an attempt to make the effort more rational, I cut down on the butter, cut short the preparation time by enlisting the aid of the broiler during the last few minutes of cooking, and decided to turn this one dish into something approaching an entire meal. In the last few minutes, before the potatoes were cooked through, I placed a thick fillet of fish on top of the potatoes. The result is a simple weeknight dish that I now make routinely, and one that even seems to impress the occasional guest.

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

4 or 5 medium potatoes, 2 pounds or more
6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil or melted butter
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 1/2 pounds cod or other fillets, about 1-inch thick (skinned), in 2 or more pieces

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 400 degrees. Peel potatoes, and cut them into slices about 1/8-inch thick (a mandoline comes in handy here). Toss the potatoes in an 8-by-12-inch or similar size baking pan with 4 tablespoons of the oil or butter. Season the potatoes liberally, spread them evenly and place the pan in the oven.
  • Cook for about 40 minutes, checking once or twice, until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a thin-bladed knife and have begun to brown on top. Remove the potatoes from the oven. Turn on the broiler, and adjust the rack so that it is 4 to 6 inches from the heat source.
  • Top the potatoes with the fish, drizzle with the remaining oil or butter and sprinkle with some more salt and pepper. Broil until the fish is done, 6 to 10 minutes, depending on its thickness (a thin-bladed knife will pass through it easily). If at any point the top of the potatoes begins to burn, move the pan a couple of inches farther away from the heat source.

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.

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.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: This will make a big difference in the flavor of your stew. If possible, use wild-caught cod and organic potatoes.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot: If you add too much stew to the pot, the temperature will drop and the stew will not cook properly. Cook the stew in batches if necessary.
  • Simmer the stew for at least 30 minutes: This will allow the flavors to develop and the potatoes to become tender.
  • Season the stew to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. You can also add a squeeze of lime juice or a dollop of sour cream before serving.
  • Serve the stew with your favorite sides: Some good options include rice, beans, tortillas, or bread.

Conclusion:

This Mexican cod and potato stew is a flavorful, hearty, and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover cod. The stew can be made ahead of time and reheated, making it a convenient option for busy families.
