Baccala
Salad
2 0r 3 pounds
of dried baccala
3 cloves of minced fresh garlic
1/2 cup chopped Italian parsley
1/4 cup or more cured black olives
1 or two quartered lemons
1 cup cleaned and marinated squid
(squid available most good grocery stores are prepared)
Soak the baccala in cold
water for three days changing the water at least twice a day. Pre-soaked
packaged baccala is available in most Italian specialty stores.
When softened, boil or steam it until cooked or flakes easily. I
find steam is always the best. Let it cool. Break bite size pieces
into a glass bowl and toss in all other ingredients. Add pepper,
the cod has lots of salt left in. Squeeze in a bit of lemon
and place lemon wedges around the bowl for all. Enjoy with
a few thin sliced Italian bread or garlic
bread.
