Cod Ajoarriero Style
Description
The Cod Ajoarriero Style recipe uses fresh, unsalted cod that’s soaked and rinsed to remove excess salt before cutting into 2-inch pieces. The base of the dish is a sauté of thinly sliced onion, finely chopped garlic, and julienned roasted green bell pepper cooked gently in olive oil until softened and translucent. Tomato puree, smoked paprika, and thickly sliced canned piquillo peppers are stirred in to contribute smoky, mildly sweet flavors. Fish stock is added to create a flavorful simmering liquid, in which the cod is placed and cooked until just flaky and tender, typically 5 to 10 minutes. A sprinkle of chopped parsley over the top adds freshness. Traditionally served with steamed potatoes, this dish balances delicate cod with vibrant pepper and tomato notes in a warm sauce.
Ingredients
- 800 gr cod fresh, unsalted
- 1 onion
- 1 green bell pepper roasted and deseeded
- 3 cloves garlic finely chopped
- 6 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons paprika
- 5 tablespoons tomato puree
- 4 piquillo peppers (canned) thickly sliced, deseeded
- parsley small bunch, chopped
- 240 ml fish stock
Instructions
- Start by soaking the cod to remove any excess salt and rinsing it well with cold water. Dry the fish with kitchen paper and into 5 cm (2 inch) pieces.
- Peel and wash the onion and green bell pepper, then julienne them thinly.
- Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-low heat and sauté the onion, garlic and green pepper. Once the onion has softened and become translucent add the tomato puree, paprika and piquillo peppers. Stir and combine well for 5 minutes or so then pour in the fish stock.
- Check the seasoning and adjust with more salt if necessary.
- Place the cod in the skillet and simmer for about 5-10 minutes until the cod is just cooked and a little flaky.
- Serve with steamed potatoes and a sprinkling of chopped parsley on top and enjoy!
