  • Ingredients

    1 kg dried baccalà
    500 g onions
    ½ litre extra virgin olive oil
    ½ litre fresh milk
    enough white flour
    1 bunch chopped parsley
    salt and pepper
    3 anchovy fillets + Grana Padano cheese

  • Preparation

    Soak the baccalà (clipfish – salted but not dried cod) for two to three days, changing the water every 8 hours.

    Cut it into evenly sized pieces.

    Slice the onions thinly and sauté them in a pan with a glass of oil, then add the parsley.

    Dredge the baccalà pieces in flour and layer them alternately with the onions in a casserole dish or baking dish (starting with the onions). Lightly salt and pepper each layer. Then cover everything with milk and olive oil.

    Let it simmer for about 4½ hours, shaking the pot occasionally. Do not stir!

    Occasionally shake the pot, do not stir.

    Sprinkle the baccalà with fresh parsley and serve with polenta.

    We recommend enjoying the dish with a good glass of white RUGOLI.

    Tip: Baccalà alla Vicentina can be stored covered in the refrigerator for 1-2 days.
