Codfish Stew Recipe - Bacalao a la Vizcaina

salted cod

💰Cheaper: fresh cod

Fresh cod is more readily available and can be used in a pinch.

black olives

🥗Healthier: green olives

💰Cheaper: canned olives

Canned olives are often less expensive and still add flavor.

white wine

💰Cheaper: chicken broth

Chicken broth can provide moisture and flavor without the cost of wine.

Soak salted cod for about 8 hours to rehydrate and remove salt, changing the water if necessary.

Peel and slice the potatoes and onions while dicing the garlic.

Shred the soaked codfish after it's rehydrated.

In a heavy pot, layer half of the potatoes, half of the onions, half of the shredded codfish, hard-boiled eggs, capers, garlic, olives, roasted red peppers, and raisins.

Top the layer with a bay leaf, a little tomato sauce, and olive oil.

Repeat the layering process with the remaining ingredients.

Add white wine and water on top of everything.

Cover the pot and bring it to a boil, then simmer for about 30 minutes.

Cook for an additional 45 minutes, covered.
