I love cooking all different kinds of cuisines. I actually never cook the same thing more than once sometimes because I am constantly creating and making new dishes. I have to thank my mother for this because she cooked the same way. I never stick to a recipe either because I always think there is always something missing.
Inspiration
Giant Food Stores, one of my favorite local grocery stores, was selling wild cod at a great price so I decided to make introduce a new fish to my children. I am all about developing my girls’ palates but I know I spoil them with good food. Since I am a Cucina Antica ambassador, I love receiving their sauces to create dishes. I used their Puttanesca homemade-style sauce to make a bit of a stew and then served it with oven-roasted potatoes.
I felt like I was transported to Portugal because I remember having a similar dish.
Cucina Antica
You know what I love about Cucina Antica‘s sauces? I do not have to worry about additional unnecessary ingredients. They use San Marzano tomatoes and add no sugar. You know what? Cucina Antica is officially the first Whole30 Approved cooking sauce, complete with the Whole30 Approved seal.

Cod a la Puttanesca with Roasted Potatoes
When I create a recipe I do not simply add sauce and leave it like that. I have to add my own flair. When I created this recipe, I tried to create the best flavor to highlight the cod. I pan-fried 1 1/2 pounds of seasoned wild cod that I had cut in big portions and then set aside. Next, I sautéed red onions and two kinds of bell peppers until cooked. I then added the Cucina Antica Puttanesca sauce. I gently placed the cooked cod in the pan with the sauce and veggies and let it simmered.
Meanwhile I was roasted Yukon Gold potato slices and making a green salad.
This recipe was a hit and it did not require any pasta. The meal was ready in 30 minutes and is a nice way to incorporate seafood in a balanced meal.
