Ingredients

Serves
  • Frozen cod / white fish fillet180 g
  • Passata — 500 g½ pack
  • Pitted olives25 g
  • Capers15 g
  • Potatoes, waxy250 g
  • Extra virgin olive oil2 tsp
  • Parsley, fresh½ bunch

From your store cupboard

Dried oreganoBlack pepperSalt

If you can’t get it

  • Capers → finely chopped pickled cucumber or green olives — what you want is that salty sharpness

Method

  1. Let the cod thaw — overnight in the fridge, or in a hurry in a sealed bag in cold water in 30 minutes, never in warm. Drain the thawed fish and pat it dry with kitchen paper, so meltwater doesn’t thin the sauce.
  2. Cut the potatoes into cubes and boil them 18 minutes, then drain.
  3. Cook the passata in the oil with the oregano 10 minutes, until it thickens and the oil separates to the surface.
  4. Add the olives and the rinsed capers. Unrinsed they would make the sauce far too salty.
  5. Add the cod in large pieces and cook covered 8 minutes. Don’t stir, only rock the pan.
  6. Fold in the potatoes, grind over pepper and scatter with parsley. Taste for salt only at the end; the olives and capers give plenty.

How to tell it’s done

  • Frozen cod or other white fish fillet — Done when the flesh turns white and falls into flakes under a fork.
