👨🍳 Instruktioner
- 1
Ensure the salt cod is properly soaked and desalted according to package directions (this can take 24-48 hours, changing the water multiple times). Drain and cut into serving pieces.
- 2
In a large, deep skillet or pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and sauté until softened and translucent, about 8-10 minutes.
- 3
Add the minced garlic and sliced bell peppers. Cook for another 5 minutes until the peppers begin to soften.
- 4
Stir in the diced tomatoes and optional chili pepper. Cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes have broken down and formed a sauce.
- 5
Pour in the coconut milk and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Season with salt and black pepper, keeping in mind the cod is already salty.
- 6
Carefully arrange the salt cod pieces in the simmering sauce. Cover the skillet and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the cod is opaque and flakes easily. Avoid overcooking.
- 7
Stir in most of the chopped coriander and parsley. Garnish with the remaining herbs. Serve hot, traditionally with rice or boiled potatoes.
