      8    thin slices parma ham
      1    olive oil
 
  --------------------------PEPPER STEW---------------------------------
      6    red sweet peppers
      6    yellow sweet peppers
    150 ml olive oil
      3    garlic cloves
      1 tb capers
      1    fresh or 2 dried bay leaves
      1    sprig fresh rosemary
    100 ml water
      1 tb fresh basil; chopped
      1 tb balsamic vinegar

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 200C/400F/gas 6.

Put the peppers in a roasting pan with 100ml of the oil. Roast for 20
minutes.
Transfer the peppers to a bowl, cover tightly with clingfilm and leave to
cool. Reserve the oil in the pan.

When the peppers are cool enough to handle, peel them, reserving all the
juices. Discard the seeds and cut the flesh into large strips. Put the
garlic
cloves in a small pan of cold water, bring to the boil and boil for 30
seconds. Drain. Repeat this blanching two more times. Drain well, then mix
with the pepper strips, capers, bay leaves and rosemary in a saucepan. Add
the
reserved oil and pepper juices, the remaining oil and water. Season with
salt
and pepper. Bring to simmering point, then leave to stew for about 30
minutes.
Meanwhile, season the pieces of cod with pepper and a little salt. Wrap
each
piece in 2 slices of Parma ham. Chill for 20 minutes. If necessary, heat
the
oven again, to the same temperature.

Heat a film of olive oil in a frying pan and seal the pieces of cod on both
sides. Transfer them to an oiled baking sheet and bake for about 8 minutes,
depending on the thickness of the pieces.

Just before serving, add the basil and balsamic vinegar to the pepper stew.
Spoon it on to warmed plates and place the cod on top. Grind some pepper
around and it's ready.
