salt cod

🥗Healthier: fresh cod

💰Cheaper: pollock

Fresh cod is lower in sodium and more affordable than salt cod.

white wine

🥗Healthier: non-alcoholic wine

💰Cheaper: broth

Non-alcoholic wine maintains flavor without alcohol.

black olives

🥗Healthier: green olives

💰Cheaper: canned olives

Green olives offer a different flavor profile at a lower cost.

capers

🥗Healthier: chopped green olives

💰Cheaper: pickles

Chopped green olives can mimic the briny flavor of capers.

Soak salt cod in cold water for 24-48 hours, changing water several times.

Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat until shimmering.

Add chopped onions and garlic; sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.

Stir in diced tomatoes and cook for another 5 minutes until slightly thickened.

Add soaked salt cod, potatoes, carrots, and bay leaves to the pot.

Pour in white wine and enough water to cover the ingredients.

Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 30-40 minutes until cod is tender.

Add black olives, capers, and red pepper flakes; stir to combine.

Simmer for an additional 10 minutes to meld flavors.

Remove bay leaves and adjust seasoning with pepper and lemon juice.

Serve hot, garnished with chopped parsley.
