We are collecting their testimonials to create a "national bank" of in-house recipes. We begin here with the story of a family of mathematicians and writers, and of a special nanny, "la Ada", who cared for everyone like a mother.

  • 800 g of cod already soaked
  • 2 desalted anchovies
  • 1 / 2 cebolla
  • parsley
  • extra virgin olive oil

Duration: 1h10min

Level: Medium

Dose: 4 people

For the recipe Bacalao Vicentina from Nanny Ada, cut the cod into small pieces and blanch in water for 2 minutes as soon as it boils. Drain, let cool and crumble, removing the bones and skin.
Slice the onion finely, fry in 40 g of oil, melt the anchovies; Add the cod and milk and cook covered over low heat for about 30 minutes.
Destination cool, then add 2 tablespoons oil to the mixture and beat until slightly fluffy. Add the chopped parsley and serve to taste over hot croutons.
For the original version prepare the sauce with a whole onion and parsley, as it was used in the past; cook the cod for 3 hours and serve with grilled polenta.
