1 lb Potatoes; small new
-scrubbed, boiled, peeled
-cut into 3/4″ chunks
1/4 c Olive Oil
2 White Onions; peeled,
-chop fine, makes 2 cups
3 Garlic Cloves; minced
4 md Tomatoes; coarsely chopped
-about 2 lbs, or two 14.4oz
-cans of tomatoes, diced
1/4 lb Ham; chopped
1/4 c Parsley; Italian, chopped
1 ts Black Pepper
1/8 ts Cinnamon; ground
pn Ground Cloves; pinch
1 lb Salt Cod; seenote
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.

——– ———— ——————————–
1 16 oz pkg hot roll mix
1/2 cup oil packed dried tomatoes
1 8 oz pkg cream cheese — softened
1 3 oz pkg cream cheese — softened
1/2 cup ripe olives, pitted — finely chopped
1/4 cup green onion — chopped
1 egg yolk — slightly beaten
1 teaspoon cracked black pepper
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano or thyme — crushed
1 egg — slightly beaten
1 tablespoon water

Prepare hot roll mix according to the package directions. After kneading the
dough, divide it into thirds. Cover the dough loosely and let rest for 5
minutes.

Meanwhile, for the filing, drain the tomatoes, reserving the oil. Chop the
tomatoes. In a medium mixing bowl combine the chopped tomatoes, cream
cheese, olives, green onions, egg yolk, pepper and oregano or thyme. If
necessary, stir in enough of the reserved tomato oil (about 1 tablespoon) to
make a filling of spreading consistency.

On a lightly floured surface, roll each portion of the dough to a 14″ x 11″
rectangle. Spread a third of the filling on each rectangle to within 1/2″ of
the edges. (The filling amount will seem generous.) Roll up each rectangle
tightly from a long side. Seat seams. Place, seam side down, on a greased
large baking sheet. Cover and let rise until nearly double, about 30 to 40
minutes.

Slash the loaf tops with 3 or 4 diagonal cuts, about 1/4″ deep. Combine egg
and water, brush onto loaves. Bake in a 375 degreen oven about 25 minutes or
until tops are golden. Cool on a wire rack. Serve warm or at room
temperature. Slice to serve. Makes 72 spirals.

To make ahead: Wrap the baked and cooled loaves individually in heavy foil
and freeze. To reheat, bake each foil wrapped roll in a 300 degree oven
about 30 minutes or until heated through. (Does not say whether to thaw out
loaves or to put them in frozen!)
