For the recipe of Testaroli sautéed in cod stew, mix the flour and 700 g of hot water with 2 pinches of salt with a whisk, obtaining a batter that must rest for 1 hour.

Then peel and flake the cod and put it back in the pan with its cooking juices.

Brown the chopped vegetables in a saucepan with a knob of butter and 2 tablespoons of oil. Cook so that the vegetables lose their water; when the liquid has dried, leaving only the fat, and the vegetables begin to sizzle, let them brown for 2 'and then add the cod with all its stock; pour the milk and 150 g of water and bring to a boil. Cover and cook for 15-20 '. Adjust at the end of salt and pepper (moist cod).
