Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Cod

    Soak the salted cod in water for 24 hours, changing the water several times to remove excess salt. After soaking, drain and pat dry.

  2. 2

    Cook the Shrimp

    In a pan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the shrimp and cook until they are pink and opaque, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

  3. 3

    Sauté Vegetables

    In the same pan, add another tablespoon of olive oil. Sauté the chopped onion and minced garlic until translucent, about 5 minutes.

  4. 4

    Add Spinach

    Add the fresh spinach to the pan and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Assembly

  1. 5

    Layer the Ingredients

    In a greased baking dish, layer the sliced cod at the bottom. Spread the sautéed spinach and onion mixture over the cod, followed by the cooked shrimp.

  2. 6

    Add Cream

    Pour the heavy cream evenly over the layered ingredients.

Baking

  1. 7

    Top with Cheese

    Sprinkle the grated cheese evenly over the top of the dish.

  2. 8

    Bake

    Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Bake the dish for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is golden and bubbly.

  3. 9

    Serve

    Remove from oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your Bacalhau A Portucale!
