I was surprised and elated that fresh fish was a specialty of Chef Mattia and a favorite food of Laura’s, so they included it in our menu. In Italy, Cod is readily available and affordable and a bit thinner than the American version. I loved the simplicity of this dish and the layering that Mattia demonstrated. The colors and flavor combination make it both beautiful and delicious, but then again, everything is beautiful and delicious in Rome. The prospect of recreating this at home had me worried that the results wouldn’t be as good. To my surprise, it turned out great! The technique is so easy that it’s a cinch to make this in your own kitchen. And I do, over and over again!
