👨🍳 تعليمات
- 1
Soak the salt cod in cold water for at least 24 hours, changing the water several times. This is crucial to remove excess salt.
- 2
Drain the cod, rinse, and place in a pot. Cover with fresh water and bring to a gentle simmer. Cook for about 20-30 minutes, or until the cod is tender and flakes easily. Do not boil vigorously.
- 3
While the cod is cooking, boil the cubed potatoes in salted water until tender. Drain and set aside.
- 4
Once the cod is cooked, drain it, reserving some of the cooking liquid. Remove any skin and bones, and flake the cod into small pieces.
- 5
In a bowl, combine the flaked cod, boiled potatoes, chopped onion, minced garlic, and chopped parsley.
- 6
Gradually drizzle in the olive oil while mixing. You can use a fork, a wooden spoon, or even a hand mixer on a low setting to achieve a creamy, emulsified texture. Add a splash of the reserved cod cooking liquid or milk if needed to reach desired consistency.
- 7
Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Remember that the cod is already salty, so taste before adding too much salt.
- 8
Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1-2 hours to allow the flavors to meld. Serve chilled with crusty bread.
