Basque Style Codfish Stew

INGREDIENTS
1   pound prepared salted cod, cut to bite-sized
4   yellow potatoes, sliced thick
2   medium white onions, sliced
4   hard-boiled eggs, sliced
2   teaspoons capers, rinsed, drained
2   large cloves garlic, minced
¼   cup pitted green olives, halved
1   jar (4 ounces) roasted red bell peppers, drained, diced
½   cup golden raisins
1   bay leaf
1   can (8 ounces) tomato sauce
½   cup olive oil
1   cup water
¼   cup dry white table wine

METHOD
In a very large (6 quart) sauce pan, layer half of each ingredient in the following order: potatoes, cod, onions, egg slices, capers, garlic, olives, red bell peppers and raisins.

Put the bay leaf on top of the first layer and pour on half of the olive oil and half of the tomato sauce.

Repeat the layers as above and pour the water and white wine over the second layer. Do not stir. Cover and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook until the potatoes are tender, about 30 minutes. This recipe will serve 4 and even tastes better the second day.

I only made half of the recipe and it nearly filled a 4 quart sauce pan.
