Directions: |
Directions:In an 8-quart pot, place the potatoes and carrots with enough water to cover by 2 inches. Cover and bring to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer gently for 15 minutes.
Drain the cod from the soaking water, rinse, and add to the pot. Cover and return the ingredients to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low, and simmer for about 15 minutes (depending upon the thickness of the fish), until tender. Fish should be opaque and just starting to flake. Add the green beans or broccoli rabe after the cod has been cooking for 5 minutes. Simmer the greens for 5 to 10 minutes. Vegetables should be tender.
Remove the fish and vegetables from the pot as they become done. Peel the potatoes and arrange on a serving platter with the fish, the other vegetables, and the hard-boiled eggs. Drizzle with oil and wine vinegar to taste and sprinkle with parsley.
Provide decanters of extra-virgin olive oil in addition to salt, pepper, and lots of chopped garlic. Serve with crusty bread or rolls and olives. |
