Ingredients
  

  • 1 onion
  • 2 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil 
  • 3 cups tomato puree
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 8 medium loins of desalted cod or fresh cod (24 oz)
  • 2 big roasted red peppers, jarred or made at home

Instructions
 

  • Peel garlic and onion and chop them small.
  • Grease a large frying pan (large enough to hold all the cod in a single layer) with 2 Tablespoons olive oil and fry the garlic and onion over medium heat until golden. Add tomato sauce and mix well. Add 1 teaspoon sugar and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Thicken sauce by cooking for 30 minutes on a low simmer, stirring occasionally.
  • Place the cod loins in a single layer on the tomato sauce in the pan. Cook on a low simmer for 6-8 minutes on each side. Chop red peppers and add to the sauce. Cook for a few more minutes. If sauce is too thick add in a little bit of vegetable broth or water.
