The fishballs should be prepared the night before. To make the fishballs mix the cod with an egg, a clove of minced garlic, parsley and some grated hard bread.

The following morning, fry the fishballs in a pan with a bit of olive oil (half glass or so), and then the artichokes. In the same oil prepare the stew sauce, onion, tomato, green peas, red pepper and paprika.

Put the fishballs in a pot with water, add the stew sauce and cook over medium heat. After 10 minutes add the potato pieces. Cook for another 20 - 30 minutes until potatoes are cooked.
