Ingredients:


2 pounds salt cod -- soaked in cold water

4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

1 medium spanish onion -- cut into 1/4 inch dice

2 cloves garlic -- thinly sliced

2 large russet potatoes -- boiled until tender, peeled -- cut into 1/2 inch cubes

3 tablespoons flour

1 cup milk

1 cup heavy cream

4 tablespoons freshly-grated parmesan cheese

6 tablespoons chopped chives

1 loaf crusty French bread loaf -- cut into 1 inch slices and toasted
 

Preparation / Directions:


The salted cod must be soaked in cold water which is changed at least daily for two days. Drain salt cod and cut into 1/2-inch cubes. In a 12- to 14-inch sauté pan, heat oil until just smoking. Add onion and garlic and cook until softened but not colored, about 3 to 4 minutes. Add cod, potatoes and flour and cook 3 to 4 minutes, until warmed through. Add milk and cream and bring to boil, stirring to just barely break down fish. Lower heat and simmer 15 minutes. Pour into shallow bowl, sprinkle with grated cheese and chives and serve with croutons. Source: MEDITERRANEAN MARIO with Mario Batali From the TV FOOD NETWORK - (Show # ME-1A13)
