Baccala alla Calabrese
Recipe courtesy Chef Aldo Vitale
Show:  The Best Of
Episode:  Holiday Dining
1/2 white onion, finely chopped
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 clove garlic, finely minced
2 vine ripe tomatoes, peeled, seeded and evenly diced
12 Calabrese olives (you may substitute Calamata)
2 bay leaves
4 or 5 fresh basil leaves, chopped
2 cups light chicken stock
2 pounds baccala, rehydrated
2 medium potatoes, peeled, cut 1/2-inch dice
Pinch crushed hot pepper
Salt and fresh pepper to taste (judiciously, as the baccala will impart some salt to the dish)

In a large pot, saute the onions in the olive oil over medium heat until they are translucent, about 3 to 4 minutes. Add the garlic and saute 1 minute. Add the tomatoes, olives, bay leaves, and basil and allow to simmer for roughly 10 minutes. Add the chicken stock, baccala and potatoes; allow to simmer for another 10 to 15 minutes or until potatoes are tender. Season with salt and pepper, to taste and serve immediately.
