Aunt Demi's Baccala, Cod with Capers and Garlic, Maltese Style

Aunt Demi was not going to let Aunt Dina have the last word.

No sir.

She's giving another Maltese sauce.  

With capers.

And more garlic.

This is absolutely it.  

Don't forget.  You have to soak and drain the baccala for a couple of days.

Or use frozen.
