Preparation Steep the cod in the milk for a few hours to remove as much salt as possible and to soften it further. Then drain it and remove the skin and the bones and cut it into pieces. Soak the raisins in warm water for 20 minutes and stone the olives. Peel the onion, slice it finely and let it sauté at a low heat in a casserole with the oil.

Add the cod and let it acquire taste for 10 minutes, turning it over only once. Then add the tomato puree diluted in a ladleful of water. Add a pinch of salt, plenty of pepper and the stoned olives. Cover the dish and let it cook for about an hour. Serve straight away.
