Ingredients Method

Ingredientes
  

  • 2 pounds fillets of cod cut into 4 pieces (Chilean "congrio" is only found in Chilean and Peruvian waters but cod makes a good substitute in this recipe)
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 4 medium tomatoes peeled and chopped
  • 1 sweet red pepper seeded and cut into strips
  • Salt and freshly ground pepper
  • 1 teaspoon sweet paprika
  • 4 slices firm white bread fried in butter, or 1 pound potatoes, boiled and sliced
  • 1/2 cup milk optional
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 large onion finely chopped
  • 2 hardboiled eggs sliced
  • 1 tablespoon chopped parsley

Method
 

  1. Preparation
  2. Season the fish with salt, pepper, and lemon juice, and set aside.
  3. Heat the butter in a skillet, stir in the paprika, add the onion, and saute over moderate heat until it is soft.
  4. Add the tomatoes and saute for a few minutes longer.
  5. Butter an earthenware casserole (which gives the dish the name "fuente de barro") and put a layer of the tomato mixture, then the fish, more tomato, the fried bread or potatoes, and more tomato.
  6. Repeat until all these ingredients are used up. Or you may have a casserole large enough to hold the fish in a single layer.
  7. Top with the sliced hardboiled eggs and pepper strips.
  8. Cover and bake in a preheated moderate (350 F.) oven for 30 minutes.
  9. If the dish seems to be drying out during cooking, add up to 1/2 cup milk. This should not be necessary if the tomatoes are fully ripe and juicy.
  10. Sprinkle with parsley and serve.
