  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   1      pound         dried salted codfish
   4      medium        red potatoes -- peeled and
                        -- quartered
   1      small         green pepper -- sliced
   1      small         onion -- sliced
   2      cloves        garlic -- finely chopped
   1                    bay leaf
     1/4  teaspoon      oregano
       1  dash          ground pepper
     1/3  teaspoon      bijol -- see below
     1/8  teaspoon      cumin
     1/3  cup           dry white cooking wine
   2      tablespoons   olive oil
   1      cup           tomato sauce
     3/4  cup           water
                        pimientos -- for garnish

1.  Place codfish filets in a pot of water.  The fish should soak all day if
possible.  Ideally, change the water several times during the day so as to
extract the maximum amount of salt from the fish.

2.  Boil the potatoes until tender.

3.  Prepare a sauce by combining the next 12 ingredients listed.  Cook in a
large pot (covered) over medium-high heat for 10 minutes, stirring frequently.

4.  Place codfish in sauce, reduce heat and simmer for 5-10 minutes, stirring
occasionally.

5.  Add potatoes, and simmer for another 10 minutes.  Uncover pot if you want
to reduce liquid.

6.  Serve, garnishing with chopped pimentos.

Notes: Bijol is a natural food coloring.  The powder is available at most
Latin and ethnic food markets.  Recipes are from La Cocina Cubana - Miami's
Little Havanna District,
