Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare Cod Fish

    Soak the salted cod fish in water for 24 hours, changing the water several times to remove excess salt.

    In a pan, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sauté until translucent.

  4. 4

    Cook Cod Fish

    In the same pan, add the soaked cod fish (drained and shredded) to the sautéed onions and garlic. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until heated through.

    Prepare Egg Mixture

    In a bowl, beat the eggs and mix in the milk, chopped parsley, black pepper, and salt to taste.
