“This root [the potato], no matter how much you prepare it, is tasteless and floury. It cannot pass for an agreeable food, but it supplies a food sufficiently abundant and sufficiently healthy for men who ask only to sustain themselves. The potato is criticised with reason for being windy, but what matters windiness for the vigorous organisims of peasants and labourers?” |

MikeNote; Salt Cod, soak for 24 hours and Gently rinse, to remove
most but not all of the salt. Do not break up fish. Put the potatoes
in a large pan of cold, salted water, cutting any large potatoes in
half or quarters first. Bring the water to a boil and simmer until
the potatoes are just tender when pierced with a fork, 15-20 minutes.
Drain and when cool enough to handle,, peel away the skin. Set aside.
In a heavy pan such as a Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium
heat. Add the onions, reduce the heat to very low and slowly saute
about one hour. Stir occasionally, watching that the onion doesn't
burn. A few dribbles more of oil may be necessary. Pre-heat oven to
300F degrees. Turn up the heat, add the garlic and tomato and cook,
stirring constantly until the mixture becomes thick and the liquid is
substantially reduced, about 10-15 minutes. Add the ham, parsley,
pepper, cinnamon and cloves, then gently stir the cod, potatoes,
jalapenos and their juice into the tomato mixture. Transfer to a 1 to
2 quart casserole, preferably clay, sprinkle with the olives and bake
for 30 minutes. Bacalao a la Viscaina can be made ahead and re-heated
in a 300F oven for 20 minutes or until thoroughly hot.
