Baccala salad with vinegar peppers is a traditional Italian dish that combines the salty flavors of baccala (salt cod) with the tangy taste of vinegar peppers. This salad is often served as an appetizer or side dish, and it is a popular choice for summer gatherings and potlucks. The baccala is typically soaked in water for several days before being cooked, and then it is flaked and mixed with a variety of vegetables, herbs, and spices. The vinegar peppers add a unique and flavorful kick to the salad, and they help to balance out the saltiness of the baccala.

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 pound boneless salt cod
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 red onion, peeled, halved lengthwise, and cut crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick slices
1 red bell pepper, halved, stem, seeds, and ribs removed, flesh cut crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick strips
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 3/4 cups canned chopped tomatoes
1/4 cup red wine vinegar, plus more for drizzling
3/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
Coarse salt
Mixed lettuces, for serving

Steps:

  • Put cod in a medium bowl. Cover with cold water. Cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate at least 8 hours, or up to 2 days. Drain water from bowl. Cover cod with fresh water. Refrigerate, covered, at least 8 hours or up to 2 days. Drain. Rinse cod, and pat dry.
  • Heat oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add cod, onion, bell pepper, and garlic. Cook, stirring constantly, until onion and pepper have softened and cod begins to break up, about 6 minutes.
  • Stir in tomatoes. Reduce heat to medium. Simmer 10 minutes. Let cool completely. Stir in the vinegar and pepper. Refrigerate cod mixture at least 3 hours (or overnight). Season with salt, or drizzle with vinegar, if desired.
  • Arrange lettuce on a large platter. Spread cod mixture on top.

Tips:

  • Choose the right type of baccala: For this recipe, it's best to use salt cod that has been soaked and desalted. You can find it in most grocery stores or online.
  • Soak the baccala properly: Before cooking the baccala, it's important to soak it in cold water for at least 24 hours. This will help to remove the excess salt.
  • Shred the baccala finely: For the best texture, shred the baccala into small pieces.
  • Use a variety of peppers: This recipe calls for a mix of sweet and hot peppers. Feel free to adjust the proportions to suit your taste.
  • Don't overcook the baccala: Baccala is a delicate fish, so it's important not to overcook it. Otherwise, it will become tough and rubbery.

Conclusion:

Baccala salad with vinegar peppers is a delicious and refreshing dish that's perfect for a summer meal. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. So next time you're looking for a new and exciting way to enjoy baccala, give this recipe a try!
