Baccala Soup

Baccala is salted dried codfish. It needs to be soaked in water for two days to remove the salt and to reconstitute the fish. The flavor is distinct. This recipe was my mothers, it was and still is served every Christmas Eve in our home:) — posted by Antifreesz

Gnocchi With Tomatoes, Pancetta & Wilted Watercress

“We use just a touch of pancetta—cured Italian-style bacon—to balance the sweet tomatoes and peppery watercress. Make it a meal: A salad tossed with a red-wine vinaigrette completes dinner. We like the texture of ’shelf-stable’ prepared gnocchi found in the Italian section of most supermarkets, but frozen and fresh refrigerated gnocchi also work well here.” EatingWell, June 2007. — posted by DiScharf
