Elkészítés

Lépésről lépésre

1
If using dried salt cod, ensure it has been desalted by soaking it in cold water, changing the water multiple times over 24-48 hours. Then, boil the desalted salt cod for 10-15 minutes until tender, drain, and shred it, removing any bones and skin.
Körülbelül 15 p
A szakács megjegyzése: The salt cod should flake easily when cooked.
2
Heat half of the olive oil in a large skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat.
Körülbelül 1 p
3
Add the julienned potato to the hot oil and fry until golden brown and crispy, about 8-10 minutes. Remove the fried potato with a slotted spoon and set aside on paper towels to drain excess oil.
Körülbelül 10 p
A szakács megjegyzése: Fry the potatoes in batches if your pan is not large enough to avoid overcrowding, which can lead to steaming instead of frying.
4
In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil. Sauté the yellow onion over medium heat until softened and translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
Körülbelül 7 p
A szakács megjegyzése: Do not let the onions brown too much; they should remain soft.
5
Add the minced garlic to the skillet with the onion and cook for another minute until fragrant.

6
Stir in the shredded salt cod and cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing it to heat through and meld with the onion and garlic.
Körülbelül 3 p
7
Return the fried potato to the skillet with the salt cod and onion mixture. Toss gently to combine all ingredients.
Körülbelül 1 p
8
Pour the beaten egg over the mixture in the skillet. Cook, stirring constantly, until the egg is just set and creamy, resembling soft scrambled eggs. Do not overcook.
Körülbelül 2 p
A szakács megjegyzése: The eggs should be moist, not dry. This is key to the dish's texture.
9
Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Remember that salt cod is already salty, so add additional salt sparingly.
10
Transfer the Bacalhau à Brás to a serving platter. Garnish generously with the sliced black olive and fresh parsley before serving immediately.
