Bacalhau A Lagareiro Recipe

Directions

1. 1

   Preparing the Cod

   Start by soaking the salted cod in water for about 24 hours, changing the water several times to remove excess salt.

2. 2

   Cooking the Potatoes

   While the cod is soaking, wash the unpeeled potatoes and boil them in salted water until tender, approximately 20-25 minutes. Drain and set aside.

3. 3

   Sautéing Vegetables

   In a large skillet, heat 50 ml of olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onions and minced garlic, sauté until the onions are translucent, about 5 minutes.

4. 4

   Adding Peppers

   Slice the red and yellow bell peppers into strips and add them to the skillet. Sauté for another 5-7 minutes until the peppers are soft. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

5. 5

   Grilling the Cod

   Preheat the grill or a grill pan. Once the cod is soaked, rinse it under cold water, then place it on the grill. Brush it with 25 ml of olive oil and grill for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the fish is cooked through and flaky.

6. 6

   Finishing Touches

   Once the cod is done, add the sautéed vegetables on top of the fish. Drizzle the remaining olive oil over the dish and sprinkle with fresh parsley.

7. 7

   Serving

   Serve the grilled cod alongside the boiled potatoes. Optionally, drizzle with more olive oil and season with salt and pepper to taste.
