This is a traditional Portuguese recipe. I had this meal at a local restaurant for the first time last year and I just loved it. Warning: it is not figure friendly..but it is wonderful!
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 lbs salt cod fish shopping list
- 1/2 cup olive oil, plus shopping list
- 1 teaspoon olive oil shopping list
- 2 cups thinly sliced yellow onions shopping list
- 1 tablespoon chopped garlic shopping list
- salt shopping list
- fresh ground black pepper shopping list
- 2 lbs waxy potatoes, sliced 1/4-inch thick and cooked until tender shopping list
- 4 hard-boiled eggs shopping list
- 8 green manzanilla olives, sliced shopping list
- 1 teaspoon paprika shopping list
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley shopping list
How to make it
- Soak the cod in cold water to cover for 24 to 36 hours, changing the water occasionally, drain. Flake the cod into small pieces, removing any bones. Set aside. In a large sauté pan, over medium heat, add 1/4 cup of the oil. When the oil is hot, add the onions and the garlic. Season with salt and pepper. Sauté until slightly golden, about 6 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 350ºF.
- Grease a medium oven proof casserole dish with 1 teaspoon of olive oil. Season the potatoes with salt and pepper.
- Spread half of the potatoes over the bottom of the prepared dish. Sprinkle half of the salt cod over the potatoes. Place half of the onion mixture over the salt cod. Top the onion mixture with more salt cod. Place another layer of potatoes over the top of the cod. Drizzle the entire pan with the remaining 1/4 cup of oil. Place in the oven and bake for 30 to 40 minutes, or until golden. Place on a serving platter. Garnish with the sliced eggs, olives, paprika and parsley.
