Ingredients and method
The preparation remains in its original order; guided mode is not available for this structure.
What is molva, or ling? My husband thought he bought salted cod, his favourite. Similar-looking, less costly and less pungent, it led me to search online. I found it described as a cod-like fish cooked like salt cod. Delicious anyway.
INGREDIENTS FOR 4
1 LING FILLET, ABOUT 900 G
1 JAR TOMATO SAUCE
1 ONION
2 GARLIC CLOVES
EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL
TAGGIASCA OLIVES
OREGANO
ITALIAN 00 FLOUR
SALT
PEPPER
CHILLI OR CHILLI OIL
I rinse salt from fillet. Like salt cod, it needs 3 days soaking.
I cut large portions.
I cover with cold water in a tall container, cover and refrigerate for 3 days, changing water 2 times daily.
After 3 days, I drain and dry.
I coat in flour.
I sauté thinly sliced onion in extra virgin olive oil.
I brown fish all over and salt sparingly as already salty, adjusting later if needed.
I add tomato pulp, Taggiasca olives and oregano, cover and cook for 30/40 minutes with water if needed.
I served with soft polenta.
