    Preparation<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    <\/div>\n\n\n\n

    Desalting and flouring the baccal\u00e0:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    • If you are using salted baccal\u00e0, you need to desalinate the fish by rinsing it well under running water to remove the surface salt.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Then, place it in a large bowl with plenty of cold water, ensuring to change the water every 8-12 hours for at least 24-48 hours. Make sure it remains fully submerged throughout the process.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Once desalinated, dry it well with paper towels. This step is important to avoid oil splashes during frying and to help the flour adhere better.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Coat the pieces of baccal\u00e0 in flour, ensuring they are well covered on all sides. This will help create a delicious crispy crust during cooking.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
      <\/div>\n\n\n\n

      Preparing the pan with garlic:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      • In a large pan, pour a generous amount of extra virgin olive oil.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Add whole or slightly crushed garlic cloves, depending on your taste, and let them brown over medium heat.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
        <\/div>\n\n\n\n

        Browning the baccal\u00e0:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \n
        • When the oil is hot and the garlic has released its aroma, add the floured baccal\u00e0 pieces.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Sear the baccal\u00e0 over medium-high heat, turning it gently with kitchen tongs to get an even golden crust on all sides.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
          <\/div>\n\n\n\n

          Adding the tomato sauce and olives:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \n
          • Once the baccal\u00e0 is well browned, pour the tomato sauce into the pan.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • Gently stir to distribute the sauce, then lower the heat and let it simmer. The tomato sauce should reduce slightly, creating a rich and flavorful sauce.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • At this point, add the olives, either whole or sliced, depending on your preference.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • Continue cooking for a few more minutes, just long enough for the olives to warm up and release their flavor into the sauce.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
            <\/div>\n\n\n\n

            Baccal\u00e0 in tomato sauce with olives is an easy-to-prepare and flavorful dish that will surely delight your guests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
