Codfish with onions is a traditional Tuscan dish, simple yet full of flavor. This recipe involves cooking the cod with stewed onions, which give the dish a sweet and aromatic taste.

Ingredients (for 4 servings):

• 800 g of pre-soaked cod
• 3 large onions (preferably white or golden)
• 4 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil
• 1 glass of dry white wine
• 2-3 bay leaves
• 1 clove of garlic (optional)
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Chopped parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

Preparing the cod: If the cod is not already soaked, soak it in cold water for 2-3 days, changing the water at least twice a day. Once desalted, rinse and pat it dry, then cut it into pieces.
Cooking the onions: Thinly slice the onions and stew them in a large pan with the extra virgin olive oil and, if desired, a whole clove of garlic. Cook over low heat for about 10-15 minutes, stirring often, until the onions become soft and translucent. Add the bay leaves for extra flavor.
Adding the cod: Place the cod pieces over the stewed onions and deglaze with the white wine. Increase the heat slightly to allow the alcohol to evaporate, then reduce the heat again and cover the pan with a lid.
Final cooking: Cook on low heat for 20-30 minutes, until the cod is tender and cooked through. If the cooking liquid dries out too much, add a little hot water or stock, or even some peeled tomatoes if you like. Season with salt only if necessary, as the cod may already be salty, and add a sprinkle of pepper.
Serving: Serve the cod with onions hot, topped with a bit of chopped parsley for a touch of color.

This simple but delicious dish is perfect to enjoy with slices of Tuscan bread to soak up the flavorful onion sauce. Enjoy your meal!
