BACALAO A LA VIZCAINA (BASQUE STYLE CODFISH STEW)



Bacalao a la Vizcaina (Basque Style Codfish Stew) image

This Spanish-style fish stew from the Basque region of Spain is a traditional peasant dish popular in all Spanish-speaking countries (where each has given it their special twist). For example, in Mexico it is usually made for Christmas, New Year's Eve, and Lent; in Puerto Rico it is a year-round favorite but most enjoyed during Lent. This is one of the Puerto Rican versions.

BACALAO CON PAPAS (SALT COD WITH POTATOES)



Bacalao con Papas (Salt Cod with Potatoes) image

In the 1980s, my family moved from Peru to a predominately Caribbean neighborhood in Brooklyn, New York. During the first ten years in the U.S., my mom and dad could not make many of the Peruvian dishes we loved because the ingredients simply were not available. Being in a foreign place, feeling alone and unable to access our comfort foods created a culinary void for our family. This uniquely immigrant dilemma improved when we began to understand and embrace the cultures around us, and incorporated these new ingredients in our traditional Peruvian recipes to create fusions. In the same way I played with and exchanged ideas with my new Puerto Rican, Cuban and Dominican friends, my mom swapped recipes with neighboring families. Bacalao (salt cod) was one of the memorable Caribbean dishes my mom began to cook at home. My version for bacalao con papas is based on memories from my life back in Brooklyn. It combines ingredients found in most bacalao recipes of the Caribbean, such as potatoes, tomatoes, onion and olives, with ingredients I like to use in my stews -- Mexican oregano, tomato paste, piquillo peppers and wine. This recipe is easy to make and yields tender flakes of cod with creamy potatoes coated in a sweet-tangy tomato and onion sauce. Serve it over rice or with thick slices of crusty grilled bread seasoned with salt and a drizzle of olive oil.

Time 2h50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

1/2 pound salt cod
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 bay leaf
2 teaspoons Mexican oregano
1 medium yellow onion, sliced into 1/4-thick-half moons
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup finely chopped parsley
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1/4 cup dry white wine (such as Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio)
3 small Yukon potatoes, unpeeled, (about 3/4 pound) cut lengthwise into quarters, then cut into 1/2-inch-thick wedges
3 jarred piquillo or pimento peppers (about 2 ounces), thinly sliced into strips
8 pitted green olives (such as Castelvetrano or Cerignola)
1/2 cup no-salt-added tomato sauce
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice (from about 1/2 lemon)
Kosher salt, if needed
Cooked white rice, for serving (optional)
Grilled bread drizzled with olive oil and seasoned with salt, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Rinse 1/2 pound salt cod under cold water to remove the outer layer of salt. Tear it into large strips (about 1- to 2-inches wide), place in a large bowl and cover with cold water. Let soak for 1 hour, drain the water and tear the cod into large bite-size pieces. Cover again with cold water and let soak for 30 minutes. Drain, cover again with cold water and soak for the final 30 minutes. Drain and squeeze out all the excess water from the cod with your hands; the cod should be very dry before using.
  • Heat the oil and butter to a medium pot or Dutch oven over medium heat until the butter melts. Add the bay leaf and oregano and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. Add the onion, garlic, black pepper and half of the parsley. Stir to evenly combine and cook, stirring often, until the onions are translucent but not brown, about 3 minutes. Add the tomato paste and stir to coat all the ingredients. Continue to stir until the tomato paste begins to caramelize and turn a dark red, almost brown color, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the wine and cook, scraping the caramelized bits from the bottom of the pot with a wooden spoon. Next, add the salt cod, stirring to coat the cod completely in the sauce and cook until the cod absorbs most of the sauce, 1 to 2 minutes. Finally, add the potatoes, piquillo peppers, olives and tomato sauce. Stir together, cover and reduce the heat to medium low. Simmer the sauce until the potatoes are fork tender but still hold their shape, about 20 minutes.
  • To serve, stir in the lemon juice and taste for salt -- typically all the salt needed in this recipe comes from the salt cod. Plate with cooked white rice or grilled bread and garnish with the remaining chopped parsley.
