The Baccala Salad is often served during Christmas Eve in most Italian homes. It is salt cod which is delivered straight from Norway. This special recipe for this salad can feed around 4 persons.
Ingredients:
Salt cod, soaked, drained, 1lb
Garlic cloves, chopped, 2 pcs.
Extra VCO, 4 tbsps
Lemon, juiced, 1 pc
Whole and cured black olives, ½ cup
Celery stalk, diced, 1 pc
Black pepper, freshly ground, ½ tsp
Red pepper flakes, ¼ tsp
Directions:
Place the soaked salt cod fish in a medium sized saucepan. Add just enough amount of water to cover the fish by 1 inch. Bring it to a boil and let it simmer for 3 minutes or until it gets flaky but make sure to not overcook. Remove and drain the cod. In a bowl, mix it with some garlic, celery, olives, black and red pepper, lemon juice and olive oil. Bread the fish apart in medium sized pieced before adding to the bowl. Toss it with the mixture and refrigerate for an hour before serving. Serve it cold or at room temperature.
