Ingredients
Traditional Livornese cod preparation scaled for plated service and production planning.
Base recipe = 1 serving.
200 g dried cod (desalted)
200 g canned peeled tomatoes
120 g potatoes
40 g onion
30 g carrot
30 g celery
20 g black olives
40 ml extra-virgin olive oil
10 g parsley
Method
Soak the dried cod for 48 hours, changing the water regularly until fully rehydrated and desalinated.
Pat dry and lightly fry the cod in olive oil to set its structure and deepen flavor.
Prepare a Livornese base with onion, carrot, celery, tomatoes, and black olives.
Simmer the cod gently in the sauce until tender and aromatic.
Serve over or alongside braised Tuscan potatoes and finish with fresh parsley.
Chef’s Note: Stoccafisso needs patience more than force. Proper soaking and gentle finishing are what give the dish its refined texture and classic coastal Tuscan character.
