1 1/3 pounds skinless, boneless center-cut dried salted cod
fish
1/2 red onion, sliced
1/2 red pepper, cut into thin strips
1/2 green pepper, cut into thin strips
2 celery stalks, cut in 1/2" slices
1 small tomato, sliced
2 garlic cloves, pushed through a press
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
3/4 cup controlled carb tomato sauce (such as Raos)
1. Place in cod in a large bowl with water to cover by 2".
Soak 1 day, changing water once or twice. Remove cod
from water; pat dry and break into chunks.
2. Heat oven to 350°F. In a 9"x 13" baking pan, toss onion,
peppers, celery, tomato, and garlic with olive oil. Gently
mix in cod and tomato sauce. Cover with aluminum foil;
bake 1 1/2 hours until fish is soft and flavors are
blended.
This recipe requires a bit of planning because the cod needs to
be soaked in water for one day. After that, its just mixing
ingredients and baking unattended.
