Second Course >> Salt Cod with Tomatoes

Baccala’ is salt cod imported in Italy from Norway. It was long considered a poor man’s food because it was cheap, and allowed people who couldn’t afford fresh fish or lived far from the coast, to eat fish in the days of lent. Also stockfish, dried cod, or Stoccafisso in Italian is often confused with it.

Baccala’ or salt cod doesn’t seem to be a food to get excited about but notoriously Italian cooks do miracles with any kind of ingredients. They created a lot of very tasty recipes, to the point that today Baccala’ is considered a delicacy.

Baccala’ comes in large pieces of 6 inch x 12 inch x 2 inch thick to be soaked overnight until tender. It is very salty therefore the water needs to be changed several times until the proper taste and consistency is reached. Can be also found in fillets already pre-soaked.
