CODFISH "STUFATO" (Stufato di Baccala)

Ingredients

• 1 cup Codfish (Flaked or picked to pieces with a fork.)
• 4 tablespoons Cooking oil
• sprigs Fresh parsley (Quantity estimated (not specified in original recipe))
• 2 tablespoons Tomato paste (Quantity estimated (not specified in original recipe))
• 1/2 teaspoon Black pepper (Quantity estimated (not specified in original recipe))
• cups Water (Quantity estimated (not specified in original recipe))

Instructions

1. 1Freshen and soak the codfish in cold water, changing the water two or three times. This will help remove excess salt.
2. 2Heat the cooking oil in a pan. Finely chop the parsley and add it to the oil. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
3. 3Add the tomato paste, pepper, and enough water to the pan to make sufficient liquid to cover the fish. Add the fish and let it simmer over low heat for about 30 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
