Ingredients

  • 1 x Raw cods' roe
  • 4 x Fresh cod steaks, cut about 2cm thick Salt
  • 4 Tbsp. White wine vinegar
  • 1 x Cod liver
  • 1 x Bay leaf
  • 1 Tbsp. White wine vinegar

Method

  • Start by preparing the cod liver if you have it.
  • Put it into a bowl of water and pull it apart with your fingers, discarding the membranes.
  • Tear the liver up into small pcs, then drain.
  • When you are ready to make the sauce, bring about 300ml of water to the boil with the bay leaf.
  • Add in the vinegar and liver and bring back to the boil.
  • Add in another 150ml cool water and again bring back to the boil.
  • Which's it.
  • For the cod itself, fill a saucepan large sufficient to take the roe and steaks with sufficient water to come about two-thirds of the way up the sides.
  • Add in lots of salt, stirring to dissolve.
  • The water should be as salty as sea-water.
  • Wrap the roe in greaseproof paper and place it in the pan.
  • Bring to the boil and simmer for about 10-15 min, till the roe is just hard.
  • Add in the vinegar and then the cod steaks.
  • Bring slowly back to the boil, let it bubble for 1 minute, then turn off the heat, cover and allow to stand for 5 min or possibly so, till the cod is cooked through.
  • Serve the cod with the liver sauce, reheated if necessary.
