Tuttorosso Tomatoes made the fish sing...

No, not really. Ok, let me tell you how this all happened. I was lucky enough to be asked if I would like to try out some Tuttorosso Tomatoes. I usually say no because I am pretty lazy about posting. However, these happen to be my favorite tomatoes for real so it was kinda win/win. I received 1 28-oz can crushed with basil, 1 28-oz. can peeled plum Italian style, 1 28-oz can of sauce and a 6-oz can of tomato paste, plus a Tuttorosso apron, Tuttorosso wooden spoon.


Next up was a fortuitous Facebook occurance. I saw Mark Bittman post that he was taking cooking questions. I had a piece of wild cod that I didn't know what to do with. Here is what happened next...





Yes! I asked and he answered. So this is what I did...

Onion. I chopped 1 onion and sauteed.



I opened up a tin of anchovies. I did a little anchovy jig (don't ask).



I smooshed them up in with the onions. I added some capers. I added some garlic.




I then added the red gold! Liquid gold. Ok, I added the crushed tomatoes. I threw in some red pepper flakes.



I then seasoned the cod fillets and sauteed them till goldenish.





I then added cod to sauce. Topped with parmesan and baked.



Serve on some kind of noodle (I like the word noodle).

2 cloves garlic, crushed
