Bacalhau à Brás

Portuguese flavors, weeknight effort. Cod (salted, soaked) meets potatoes in a 45-minute dinner worth keeping in rotation.

✓ USDA-verified nutrition data

Ingredients

• 1 lb Cod (salted, soaked)
• 1.5 lb Potatoes
• 2 Onion
• 6 Eggs
• 1/2 cup Olive oil
• 3 cloves Garlic
• 1/2 cup Black olives
• 1/4 cup Parsley

Steps

1. Soak the salt cod 24 hours, changing the water three times — properly desalted cod tastes of the sea, not the salt barrel.
2. Shred the cod into flakes, picking out every bone; patience here pays off at the table.
3. Cut the potatoes into matchsticks and fry until golden and crisp; drain well.
4. Soften the sliced onion and garlic in olive oil until sweet, then add the cod and cook 5 minutes.
5. Fold in the potatoes, then pour in the beaten eggs and stir gently over low heat until just set into silky curds.
6. Serve immediately with black olives and parsley; à Brás waits for no one.
