Salt cod with Bell peppers on the grill
BaccalĂ con Peperoni alla Griglia
Salt cod And bell peppers grilled, seasoned with extra virgin olive oil, garlic and parsley and served cold.
The salt cod with bell peppers Grilled is a simple and tasty preparation, suitable to be served cold as a complete dish or to share. The recipe highlights the contrast between the firm and savory flesh of the fish, softened by cooking, and the tender texture of the bell peppers Roasted. Extra virgin olive oil binds the ingredients and carries the aroma of garlic and parsley, while grilling adds an intense, slightly smoky note. Separate cooking allows for the different cooking times of the two ingredients: salt cod must remain compact and flake easily, while the bell peppers They must soften enough to be peeled and filleted. This dish is a traditional dish.
