FISH-LOAF

Fish entree

1 lb cod fillets (or other white fish)
1/2 cup Italian dried black olives
1 can Italian tuna packed in olive oil, drained
4 tbsp Italian capers, packed in salt and rinsed
4 anchovy fillets
2 garlic cloves
3 eggs
3 potatoes
4 tbsp grated parmigiano
4 tbsp plain breadcrumbs
Italian extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp each chopped parsley and basil


Boil potatoes and set aside; chop fish, tuna and anchovies and transfer in a big bowl; chop capers, olives, garlic and herbs together and combine with the fish mix.

Force potatoes through a ricer with small holes directly into the bowl with the fish mixture, then add parmigiano, eggs, salt and 1/2 breadcrumbs.

Preheat oven to 375.

Mix well to combine all ingredients until you obtain a smooth mixture. Shape as a loaf, dredge in breadcrumbs and lay on a baking dish, drizzle with olive oil and bake for about 25 minutes.

Let it cool down to room temperature and cut into 1" slices.
