Learn how to prepare this traditional dish from Portugal. The salted cod has been part of the portuguese culture for centuries and still is very popular.

Prep Time: 20 min

Cooking Time: 20 min

Serves: 04

Ingredients:

• 400 g salted cod
• 500g potato stick
• 01 large onion
• 01 garlic head
• 6 eggs
• Salt, pepper, parsley to taste
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• Pitted and sliced Black olives

To prepare the Portuguese Bacalhau à bras recipe, start having soaked the salt cod, then remove the skin and bones, and break it apart with your hands. You can find at Soares the cod already pre-soaked. If you buy, it salted, allow 2-3 days in water, changing the water every six hours.

Once the cod is unsalted, put it in boiling water and boil for approximately 5-7 minutes. Let it cool. Then, slice it into small pieces.

Then, in a pan, sweat the onions and garlic until golden, then add the pieces of the cod, and cook for a few minutes.

At this stage, add the potatoes and stir while adding the lightly beaten eggs with salt and pepper.

Stir for a few minutes, turning off the heat before the eggs solidify and become an omelette!

The Bacalhau à bras must be served hot, with parsley and black olives.
