Preparation Instructions
Preparing the Salt Cod
Soak the salt cod in cold water for 24-48 hours, changing the water several times to remove excess salt. Once soaked, drain and rinse the cod.
Cooking the Cod
Place the soaked cod in a pot and cover with fresh water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the cod is tender. Drain and let cool slightly.
Making the Mantecato
In a mixing bowl, flake the cooked cod into small pieces. Add minced garlic, chopped parsley, and olive oil. Use a fork or a hand mixer to blend until creamy and well combined. Adjust the seasoning with salt and black pepper to taste.
Serving
Serve the baccala mantecato with toasted slices of black bread. Drizzle with additional olive oil if desired.
