Freshly ground pepper
Virgin olive oil

IN A DUTCH OVEN or 3-quart heavy pot, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil over
high heat on top of the stove. Add the lamb in batches and brown well on
all sides. Do not crowd the pot or the meat will steam rather than brown.
Remove and reserve as pieces become brown. Discard fat. Preheat oven to
350F. When all the meat has browned, lower heat to low, add 2 tablespoons
oil and add the celery, carrot and garlic. Cook, stirring, 1 minute. Return
the meat to the pot. Add the stock and beans. Bring to a boil, add the
marjoram or oregano, cover, and bake 1 1/2 hours, or until the lamb is
cooked and the beans are tender. Meanwhile, using a small paring knife, cut
off tip and stem of the tomatoes. Remove the seeds and core, leaving only
firm, outer pulp. Slice one side of each tomato and lay it flat on work
surface. Cut into 1/4-inch lengthwise strips, pile up strips and cut across
into 1/4-inch pieces. Reserve on a plate until needed. Add the macaroni to
the casserole, replace in oven, and cook, covered, another 20 minutes, or
until pasta is tender. Remove the fresh herb sprigs and add the tomatoes.
Transfer to a large tureen or divide among individual soup bowls. Offer
grated cheese, minced onions, ground pepper and olive oil as garnishes at

3 Garlic Cloves; minced
4 md Tomatoes; coarsely chopped
-about 2 lbs, or two 14.4oz

4 Pickled chiles Jalapeno
-sliced into thin rings
4 tb Liquid from pickled chiles
12 Pimento-stuffed Green Olives
-sliced in half

MikeNote; Salt Cod, soak for 24 hours and Gently rinse, to remove most but
not all of the salt. Do not break up fish.
Put the potatoes in a large pan of cold, salted water, cutting any large
potatoes in half or quarters first. Bring the water to a boil and simmer
until the potatoes are just tender when pierced with a fork, 15-20 minutes.
Drain and when cool enough to handle,, peel away the skin. Set aside. In a
heavy pan such as a Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add
the onions, reduce the heat to very low and slowly saute about one hour.
Stir occasionally, watching that the onion doesn’t burn. A few dribbles
more of oil may be necessary. Pre-heat oven to 300F degrees.
Turn up the heat, add the garlic and tomato and cook, stirring constantly
until the mixture becomes thick and the liquid is substantially reduced,
about 10-15 minutes. Add the ham, parsley, pepper, cinnamon and cloves,
then gently stir the cod, potatoes, jalapenos and their juice into the
tomato mixture.
Transfer to a 1 to 2 quart casserole, preferably clay, sprinkle with the
olives and bake for 30 minutes. Bacalao a la Viscaina can be made ahead and
re-heated in a 300F oven for 20 minutes or until thoroughly hot.
