How to make it
- To prepare the salt cod place it in a bowl of cold water then cover the bowl and refrigerate for 3 days changing the water once a day.
- In a dry heavy fry pan over medium heat toast the almonds until browned about 30 seconds then transfer to a plate to cool.
- Sprinkle the coarse country bread with the vinegar.
- Using a large mortar and pestle grind together the almonds, hazelnuts, garlic, peppers and vinegar soaked bread until a thick reddish paste forms.
- Alternatively, process the ingredients together in a food processor making sure the mixture remains coarse.
- Add the olive oil in a thin stream stirring constantly with a wooden spoon until the ingredients are thoroughly combined and the sauce is just liquid enough to be poured.
- Season with salt.
- Remove any bones and skin from the salt cod then shred the meat with your fingers into thin strips.
- Cut or tear the anchovy fillets into strips.
- Place the salt cod anchovies and tuna in a bowl with the tomatoes and olives and toss to combine.
- Pour over enough of the sauce to coat everything thickly and toss again.
- Just before serving in a large salad bowl toss the escarole with the salt cod mixture.
- Serve immediately.
