Main Ingredients

Optional Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Soak the Cod

    Begin by soaking the salted cod in cold water for 24-48 hours. Change the water several times to remove excess salt.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Peel and cut the potatoes into cubes. Slice the onions thinly and mince the garlic.

  3. 3

    Boil the Eggs

    Place the eggs in a pot of water and boil for about 10 minutes. Once done, cool them under cold running water, peel, and set aside.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Cook the Potatoes

    In a large pot, add the cubed potatoes and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and set aside.

  2. 5

    Cook the Cod

    In a separate pot, add the soaked cod and cover with fresh water. Bring to a simmer and cook for 15-20 minutes until the fish is flaky. Remove from heat, drain, and flake the fish into large pieces.

  3. 6

    Sauté Onions and Garlic

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and minced garlic, sautéing until the onions are translucent and fragrant.

  4. 7

    Combine Ingredients

    Add the flaked cod and cooked potatoes to the skillet with the onions and garlic. Gently mix everything together, seasoning with salt and black pepper to taste.
