serves 4

Salt cod (bacalhau) — to buy500g
Tomato — to buy3
Onion — to buy2
Garlic — to buy2 cloves
Chili pepper — to buy1
Olive oil — to buy3 tbsp

Preparation

Desalt the salted cod by soaking it in cold water for 12 hours, changing the water 2-3 times — otherwise the dish would be far too salty to eat.
Drain and flake the cod into pieces, removing skin and bones.
Cook the onion and garlic in the oil for 3 minutes, add the diced tomato and chili, simmer for 10 minutes until you get a stewed sauce.
Add the flaked cod to the sauce, gently mix and simmer 15 more minutes over low heat so the flavours meld.
Serve hot with rice or fried plantains.
