1 lb salt cod, seenote
4 pickled chiles jalapeno sliced into, thin rings
4 tbsp liquid from pickled chiles
12 pimento-stuffed green olives sliced, in half
Recipe Preparation
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.

Food Tips of the Week
Advice on losing weightMake sure that you drink enough fluids. Sometimes at some stage in a hectic work day, you feel you need food when in truth you may need a refreshing glass of water or cranberry juice. The feelings of hunger and thirst are somewhat similar, but one of them ends in weight increase and the other one leads to no damage.
The case against reduced carbohydrate diets
Its popular as hell, but it is truly safe and healthy for you?
The majority of the negative side effects stated, such as tiredness, bowel disorders, or headaches seem to pass quickly, but critics contend that low carb diets are not without permanently harmful side effects.
Remember, one point that is usually overlooked, it is damned hard (though by no means impossible) for vegetarians to adopt a reduced carb diet.
Foods containing lycopene
(includes apricot, papaya & tomatoes)
The chemical lypcopene is a simple coloring compound and member of the same family of phytochemicals as carotene. Lycopene is the agent responsible for the dark red colour of many foods.
Unlike most other vitamins, lycopene does not become less effective if cooked but is in actuality improved by going through the cooking process.
. Lycoprene's main medical value is that it behaves as an antioxidant and is thought to be of use in the fight to reduce the probabilty of contracting cancer.
This useful phytochemical is the most powerful carotenoid quencher of singlet oxygen, which is correlated with skin aging. It's also thought by many researchers to hamper the progression of atherosclerosis.
