Шаг за шагом

1. 1

   Begin by desalting the salt cod: submerge it in a large bowl of cold water and refrigerate for 24-48 hours, changing the water every 8 hours to remove excess salt. Once desalted, drain the cod thoroughly and gently shred it into small, flakey pieces.

   Около 8 ч

   Совет повара: The desalting process is crucial for the dish's balance; taste a small piece of the cod before assembling to ensure it's not overly salty. If it's still too salty, continue soaking for a few more hours.

2. 2

   While the cod is desalting, hard-boil the eggs: place them in a saucepan, cover with cold water, bring to a rolling boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 8-10 minutes. Immediately transfer to an ice bath to stop cooking, then peel and quarter them.

   Около 10 мин

   Совет повара: Adding a pinch of salt or a teaspoon of vinegar to the boiling water can help prevent eggshells from cracking and make them easier to peel.

3. 3

   Prepare the oranges: carefully peel them, ensuring all white pith is removed, as it can be bitter. Segment the oranges over a bowl to catch any escaping juice, which will add to the dressing.

   Около 5 мин

   Совет повара: To segment an orange, slice off the top and bottom, then use a sharp knife to cut away the peel and pith in strips. Then, carefully cut along the membranes to release the individual segments.

4. 4

   Thinly slice the red onion into delicate rings or half-moons.

   Около 3 мин

   Совет повара: For a milder onion flavor, you can soak the sliced red onion in cold water for 10-15 minutes, then drain thoroughly before adding to the salad.

5. 5

   In a large mixing bowl, combine the desalted and shredded salt cod, orange segments, black olives, and thinly sliced red onion.

   Add the quartered hard-boiled eggs to the bowl, arranging them aesthetically.

   Около 1 мин

7. 7

   Drizzle the extra virgin olive oil generously over all the salad ingredients.

   Около 1 мин

   Совет повара: Use a high-quality, fruity extra virgin olive oil, as its flavor is prominent in this simple dressing.

8. 8

   Gently toss all ingredients together until they are well combined and coated with the olive oil, being careful not to break up the delicate orange segments or cod flakes too much.

   Около 1 мин

   Совет повара: Use a large spoon and spatula, or even clean hands, to gently combine the ingredients without mashing them.

9. 9

   Season the salad with freshly ground black pepper to taste. Taste a small portion before adding any additional salt, as the cod and olives contribute significant salinity.

   Около 1 мин

   Совет повара: If the salad still needs a touch more salt, use a flaky sea salt for a pleasant textural contrast.

10. 10

    Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the salad to chill thoroughly.

    Около 2 ч

    Совет повара: Chilling is essential for this salad, as it enhances the refreshing qualities of the oranges and creates a more cohesive flavor profile.

    Serve the Remojón Granadino chilled as a light and refreshing main course or a vibrant side dish.
