As well as winning the competition, they also won the Prize for the Best Treatment of Cod of all the entries. Information from www.showcooking.info
This is a bite-sized cod pintxo made up of two stews. One, the classic cod omelette with green pepper, using the cod neck, and the other, a cod tripe in pilpil sauce. Both preparations are wrapped in filo pastry and topped with a cream of roasted garlic, a very spicy tomato foam, a crunchy corn crisp and some false flakes.
"It has been a special experience, sharing competitions with champion chefs in different competitions around a product such as cod. An interesting challenge that has given us a new txapela, a new prize and the impetus to continue working and creating new proposals", comments David Rodríguez.
