cod with pil pil

In Italian cuisine, 'merluzzo con pil pil' refers to a dish made with cod cooked in a flavorful sauce called 'pil pil,' which typically consists of garlic, olive oil, and sometimes chili peppers. The term 'pil pil' originates from Basque cooking and describes a method of emulsifying the fish's natural oils with the sauce, resulting in a rich and savory flavor that complements the mild taste of the cod.
