True Taste of Italy

Baked Cod (Baccalá al Forno) is a deliciously simple fish recipe.  Since childhood, I have always associated this dish with warmth and security.  The best way I know to describe this wonderful dish is to call it “my comfort food.”

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 fresh or frozen cod fillets
• 1 ½ cups crushed tomatoes
• 1/4 cup chopped onion
• 1/3 cup pitted black olives, halved

• Inoven-safe dish, combine olive oil, cod, tomatoes, onion, olives, salt and pepper to taste, and oregano.
