Rižot od bakalara

Rižot od bakalara is a traditional dish originating from Istria. The dish is usually made with a combination of cod, onions, garlic, tomato paste, risotto rice, parsley, olive oil, salt, black pepper, and grated parmesan. The cod is cooked and cut into pieces. Onions and garlic are sautéed in olive oil and mixed with tomato paste, parsley, rice, and the leftover water from cooking the cod. The risotto is constantly stirred as it cooks, and once the rice becomes halfway cooked, cod is added to the risotto, along with grated parmesan. Once done, the risotto is served immediately, and it’s sprinkled with more parmesan on top.
