Preparation

  1. To make the tomatoes, preheat oven to 200 degrees. Combine rosemary and orange oils in a small bowl. Using a pastry brush, coat both sides of the tomato halves lightly with oil mixture. Place skin-side down on a large baking sheet. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.
  2. Bake the tomatoes until they shrink to about 1/4 of their original size, about 4 to 6 hours; they should remain soft and juicy. Let tomatoes cool on the baking sheet. Cut them in half crosswise and set aside.
  3. To make the stew, heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, carrots and celery. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook, stirring often, for 10 minutes. Stir in the wine, water, bay leaf and rosemary. Add the potato slices. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer for 25 minutes. Stir in the tomatoes and jalapeno and simmer, uncovered, for 5 minutes. Add the cod and simmer just until cooked through, about 3 minutes. Divide among 4 bowls and serve.
