Recipe from Mamma Alessandra from Tuscany: Codfish served in onions and vinegar sauce

Ingredients (for 6 people):

1 codfish (filleted, 1200g),
some DOP Sicilian olive oil Triglifo,
3 onions, 50g butter,
15-20g sugar,
100g white wine (Planeta La Segreta Bianco),
60g tarragon vinegar,
500ml water,
little sachet of spices with peppercorns, sea salt, laurel, cloves,
1 medium potato

How to prepare:
buy a cod already filleted in the shop, cut in 200g slices, salt with seasalt, put on a baking tray with baking paper.
Dripple some Triglifo olive oil on the cod fillets, let it get glassy at 150 degrees 10-15min.
Peal the onions, cut in thin slices... let butter melt in a pan, add onion slices, sprinkle with sugar, add white wine, then vinegar and water, put the sachet of spices too.
Peal the potato, slice in cubic thin slices, add to the vinegar brew - the potato starch thickens the brew slightly. let simmer for 10min, so that onions and potatoes remain firm to the bite "al dente", season to taste with salt, vinegar and sugar.
Serve onion brew in deep plates, put cod on top (skin side up). if you like you can garnish with horseraddish or chive.

Buon appetito!

A glass of our Prosecco di Valdobbiadene will be perfect for this dish!
