Procedure for Cod with Potatoes and Olives
To make the cod with potatoes and olives recipe, first pour some oil into a large saucepan, add the garlic and finely chopped onion, and sauté over moderate heat for a few minutes.
When the onion has softened, add the sliced chili pepper, diced potatoes, and oregano. Stir and continue cooking for a few minutes, still over low heat.
Add the pieces of cod, placing them on the bottom of the pan, turning them after a while. Add the olives and water.
Cover and continue cooking until the potatoes become tender and the broth has reduced. Turn off the heat and add the chopped parsley.
Before serving, adjust the salt because both the cod and the olives are already quite salty.
