The cod in Neapolitan casserole or simply cod in the casserole is the second typical dish of the Neapolitan cuisine. It contains cod, capers, olives, pine nuts and other ingredients. To facilitate and speed up the preparation it is preferable to buy the cod already desalted and ready to use. This will allow you to focus more on the sauce, with its unmistakable taste of olives and capers.
