The cod with potatoes and olives Calabrian style is a very simple but tasty main course. With the approach of the Christmas holidays, the cod certainly can not miss on the tables of the Calabrian people and not only.
This cod stew with the addition of chopped potatoes and black olives, blended with fragrant white wine and flavoured with chilli pepper chunks, added in tomato sauce, is a rustic dish from the culinary tradition of Calabria and the king of the table both at the lunch of the Immaculate Conception – December 8th – and on Christmas Eve.
Some regions of Italy offer this dish with small local variations: without tomatoes, with tomatoes and potatoes without olives, only with tomatoes and potatoes, or with the addition of capers.
