Ingredients

  • 500 g. (1 lb) fresh cod
  • 8 King prawns
  • 1/2 medium onion
  • 1 leek
  • 3 garlic cloves
  • 50 g. of peas
  • Salt
  • Prawn broth
  • Parsley
  • Sherry wine
  • Flour
  • Extra virgin olive oil

Preparation

HOW TO PREPARE:


⦿ To start with we are going to prepare the broth. We are going to peel half of the prawns and we are going to fry the heads and the skin in a pan with a tablespoon of olive oil. We set them aside and pour them in a pot with half a liter of water and cook for half an hour. In the last few minutes we will add the four whole prawns so that our broth gets more flavour. We set aside, strain, and we already have our pranws broth


⦿ In a pan with some oil we are going to fry the cloves of garlic, the leek and the onion cut into strips. When they are fried we are going to add the glass of dry Sherry Wine and continue cooking until the alcohol evaporates.


⦿ In a mortar, we are going to make a “majaito” with a sprig of parsley and add it to the broth.


⦿ And now let’s prepare the Cod. We will season it and dip in the flour slightly.


⦿ In the pan we used to poach the vegetables, with some olive oil, we're going to fry the cod filets and the broth and the peas.


⦿ Cook continuously moving the pan with lateral movement and in this way the cod will be releasing its jelly sauce. This way, our sauce will be thickening as if it were a pil pil sauce.


⦿ When we notice our cod is done we are going to add the peeled prawns, the ones with skin, chop the parsley and sprinkle it on top. Remove it from the fire.


 


And we are ready to sit down at the table and enjoy this rich recipe that you will love.


 


Have a great week.
