Codfish "alia Giardiniera"
A simple and rustic codfish dish with carrots and turnips, cooked in butter.
Ingredients
- 0.5 pound Salted codfish (Soaked to remove excess salt)
- 1 medium Carrot (Peeled and sliced)
- 0.25 medium Turnip (Peeled and sliced)
- 1.5 tablespoons Butter (Unsalted)
- 0.25 cup Water (Boiling, as needed)
Instructions
- 1Boil the salted codfish until cooked through. This may take 15-20 minutes depending on the thickness of the fish. Remove from the water, let cool slightly, then remove the skin and bones. Shred the codfish into small pieces.
- 2Scrape the carrot and turnip. Cut them into thin slices.
- 3Boil the sliced carrots and turnips for a few minutes until slightly tender. Drain off the water.
- 4Put the drained vegetables into a saucepan with butter. Cook over medium heat, adding a little boiling water from time to time to prevent sticking, until the vegetables are tender and the butter has created a light sauce. This should take about 10-15 minutes.
- 5Add the shredded codfish to the saucepan with the vegetables. Mix well to combine. Heat through for a few minutes. Serve hot.
