This traditional Manresana cod recipe is based on one of the recipes compiled by the Manresano cook and gourmet Ignasi Domenech (1874-1976), in his "La Teca" cookbook. In its pages, he compiled stews and stews and desserts that were cooked on the stoves of the Manresa houses of the time. As well as two Manresana cod recipes: One with potatoes and quince aioli and the second with spinach, plums, raisins and pine nuts.

The recipe that I present to you today is Manresana Cod with Spinach, plums, raisins and pine nuts, to which I have given a special final touch, making a sweet muscatel wine reduction that is also incorporated into the base of the recipe. I have made these succulent cod fillets in the Skeppshult pan because it has enough presence that you can serve it directly to the table.

It is an easy traditional recipe, but it deserves to be on a Sunday or party table , the result is tasty and the accompaniment could not be lighter, so I encourage you to try this recipe from my city and my region .
