Ingredients
- 1 kilograms (2.2 pounds) salted codfish
- 1 kilograms (2.2 pounds) potatoes such as Russets or Yukon Gold peeled and cut into 6 cm (2 ½-inch) pieces
- 260 grams (1 medium-sized) onion finely chopped
- 7-8 garlic cloves chopped
- 140 grams (⅔ cup) extra virgin olive oil
- freshly ground pepper
- 60 grams (¼ cup) fresh lemon juice
Instructions
Prepare The Fish:
- Cut the fish into portions if it isn't already cut. The pieces should be about 8-10 cm (3 ½ to 4-inch) in size.
- Rinse the fish under cold water to remove the salt.
- Add the cod to a large cooking pot or bucket and fill with 5 liters of water.
- Soak the codfish for 24 hours. Changing the soaking water with fresh one 7-8 times in total.
- Scrape the fish skin with a butter knife to remove the scales. Rinse well.
Make The Cod Stew:
- Cover the bottom of a cooking pot with the potatoes.
- Add in the onions and garlic.
- Lay the fish on top of the potatoes (see note 1 below).
- Pour in the olive oil and 3 ½ cups (875 ml) of water (see note 2 below). Season with freshly ground pepper only, NO SALT.
- Bring to a boil and then drop the heat to medium, medium-high leaving the lid on the pot a bit open on one side for steam to escape. (see note 3 below)
- Cook for 40 to 50 minutes. Add the lemon juice 5 minutes before you take the pot off the heat.
- Remove from the heat and allow to sit for 15 minutes (again partly covered).
- Serve and enjoy with extra freshly ground pepper on top and lots of bread for dipping.
Notes
- Note 1: The potatoes should cover the bottom surface of the pot so the fish can sit on top. Otherwise, the fish may stick at the bottom.
- Note 2: You needn't cover the fish with water. Only a small part of it. As it will steam cook. If you add too much water and cover the fish it will take to long for the stew to thicken.
- Note 3: If the stew seems to thicken too quickly drop the heat down a bit. On the contrary, if the stew looks soupy raise the heat a bit to thicken.
