Soak salt cod in cold water for almost 48 hours, changing water often.
When you begin to make your recipe, soak sultanas in warm water for 15-20 minutes. Slice leeks very thinly and put them in a saucepan together with the aromatic herbs, wine and some ladles of water. Begin cooking over a medium heat, half-covered.
Meanwhile you have to remove the black skin and bones to the fish and slice it in fillets. Squeeze sultanas from their soaking water.
When leeks are soft, after 20-30 minutes, add salt cod fillets and soaked sultanas. Pour into the pan a little hot water only if necessary. Cover the pan and keep on cooking for about 10 minutes; turn the fillets with delicacy only once. Don't cook too much: the fish could become tough.
Season to taste with salt, only if necessary, at the end of cooking. When you switch off the gas, add olive oil. Stir with delicacy and serve at once.

Note

This dish can be accompanied by a seasonal salad or boiled potatoes.
