   3                    Scallions -- chop
   1      large         Onions -- chop
   1                    Carrot -- chop
   1                    Rib celery -- chop
   4      tablespoons   Olive oil
                        Cod fish
                        POACHING LIQUID
   2                    Carrots -- chop
   1      large         Onion -- chop
   1                    Sprig parsley -- chop
   2      tablespoons   Butter
   2      tablespoons   Oil
   1      quart         White wine
   2      quarts        Water
   2                    Bay leaves
     1/2  ounce         Salt
   8                    Black peppercorns

In a large saucepan saute scallions, onion, carrot and celery in olive oil till translucent
 and starting to brown--about 5 mins. Add cod and cover with enough poaching liquid 
(see below) to cover fish. Bring to a simmer and cook till fish has become cooked through,
 but not so it starts to break down. Remove to a serving dish and spoon the sauce over it.
 POACHING LIQUID- In a saucepan saute carrots, onion, parsley, celery in butter and olive oil till tender.
 Add wine, water, bay leaves and salt. Cover and let simmer for 45 minutes.
 10 minutes before the end of the cooking time add peppercorns
. Remove liquid from heat, let cool, then strain.
 You may also add 2 cups of vinegar instead of the wine for a more astringent taste.
