Ingredients

How to make it

  • the day before you wish to serve soak the salt cod in water changing 2-3 times and finally in the milk over night
  • the next day boil or steam your potatoes, they must be just cooked and firm (this is whyyou don't want to use russets and they break apart too readily, use the smaller gold or red pots) set aside
  • poach cod in water or you could use fish stock or court bouillon, until theflesh is supple but not broken to pieces, let cool, pat dry with a towel
  • render your chorizo over low heat, if it is fairly lean help it out witha little olive oil, the pieces should be crisp and brown, careful not to burn.
  • throw in onions, garlic and green pepper and sweat out season lightly
  • add cod and potaoes, and a little water or stock and let reduce, stiring very carefully
  • just before liquid is nappe (coating consistancy) add parsley and red pepper as well as final seasoning and a little splash of sherry vin.
  • serve with crusty bread or some fried taro root
