SALT COD WITH ONIONS, WHITE WINE AND CABBAGE

Steps:

• If using salt-cod, cut into 4 pieces and reconstitute as described in the Introduction; don't drain or dry the fish when done.
• If using fresh fish (4 steaks), rinse, lightly salt, and leave in a colander for 1-2 hours.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a medium-size (at least 10-12 inch diameter) frying pan, warm up the olive oil, then add the onions to sautee for about 30 minutes; you want golden, not brown, and soft; this is a basic cebollata (see Intro).
• Keep the cebollata warm (lowest stove top setting).
• Prepare the cabbage by trimming and removing four of the largest and most perfect outside leaves; cut out the thick, stiff stem at the base of each leaf.
• Use a heavy knife to flatten the leaves and make them more pliable.
• Shred the heart of the cabbage and set it aside for now.
• Wrap each of the 4 pieces of fish in a cabbage leaf.
• Lay the wrapped fish on a baking tray, put in the oven, and bake for 20-30 minutes, "until the wrappers are as dry and brown as tobacco leaves".
• While the fish are cooking, prepare the potatoes as follows:.
• Put a medium-sized covered pan (big enough to hold the potatoes and the shredded cabbage) on the stove top and put in the potatoes.
• Add the wine and enough water to cover and cook (medium heat) for about 10 minutes.
• Remove the cover, add the shredded cabbage, and cover tightly to let the cabbage steam (turn up the heat a bit if necessary).
• Cook until the potatoes are tender, probably a total of 15-20 minutes.
• Remove the potatoes and cabbage with a slotted spoon to your serving dish.
• Add the cooking juices from the potato/cabbage pot into the cebollata in the frying pan, taste and season, then increase the heat to reduce the liquid until you have a thick rich sauce.
• Pour the sauce over the potato and cabbage base.
• Remove the fish from the oven, place them on the potato and cabbage base and open the wrappers.
