ingredients
- 2 x 300g cod fillet, desalted (see Method)
IN STOCK
- 75ml/6tbsp Arbequina olive oil
IN STOCK
- 3 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
- 1 1/2 jars Brindisa fritada
IN STOCK
- 20g Empeltre black olive paté
- 5ml/1tsp Catalan oregano with flowers
- Small hand full flat-leaf parsley, leaves only, medium chop
- Peel of 1/4 lemon, finely grated
METHOD
- Desalting the fish: 24 hours before - rinse the bacalao well then put to soak in plenty of water; refrigerate overnight, changing the water once.
- Rinse the bacalao and drain well; skin the fillets and cut into 6 – 8 pieces, checking for bones.
- In a large deep frying pan over a high heat, and working in batches, fry the bacalao in the olive oil quickly until lightly brown (approx. 1 - 1 ½ minutes per side) then remove from the pan.
- Reduce heat to medium low and fry the garlic slices until very lightly browned - this only takes a brief moment - then carefully add fritada (it can spatter).
- Stir in black olive paté and oregano, simmer gently for 10 minutes; stir in the parsley and lemon peel.
- Place the bacalao pieces - and any juices/oil from frying - in the sauce and reduce heat to very low and gently cook for 5 minutes; remove from heat, cover and leave for 5 minutes.
- Garnish with lemon wedges and bottles of fino.
