How To Make Livornese
Make your meal special by serving a livornese or Italian seafood dish. Savor tasty flavors through its mix of cod, white wine, and tomatoes.
Ingredients
- 8 oz clean cod, (½ pound)
- 3 garlic cloves, sliced
- 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tbsp capers
- 6 kalamata olives, pitted and sliced
- ⅔ cup white wine
- parsley, (1 bunch) freshly chopped, and extra for garnish
- ⅛ tsp red pepper flakes, crushed
- 1 cup tomatoes with liquid, crushed, or 1 cup marinara sauce
- sea salt and fresh cracked pepper, to taste
Instructions
-
Season cod with some salt and black pepper.
-
In a large 10-inch deep non-stick skillet, heat olive oil on medium heat and toss in the garlic. Saute garlic for about 1 to 2 minutes.
-
Add in the codfish and sear cod for 1 minute. Pour in the white wine, and allow the wine to reduce a little, about 1 to 2 minutes until it softens.
-
Toss in the capers, fresh parsley, kalamata olives, crushed red pepper flakes, and crushed tomatoes.
-
Cover with the lid, and reduce the heat to low. Simmer the sauce with cod for about 5 to 8 minutes. Codfish should turn opaque and be fully cooked. Taste the tomato sauce, and adjust if needed, season with salt and black pepper to taste.
-
Using a large spatula, carefully transfer fish to a serving plate, spoon sauce over the fish. Garnish with a sprinkle of chopped parsley on top.
-
Serve immediately. Enjoy!
Recipe Notes
- Codfish is delicate and flaky when fully cooked, so it’s best to use a large spatula as you transfer it to a plate.
- You may spoon as much Livornese sauce or as little over the fish as desired.
- Feel free to use some crusty Italian bread nearby to scoop up the sauce.
- This recipe for Livornese is adaptable to tilapia, snapper, and even Dover sole.
