Join me and let's see how to make Bacalhau à Gomes de Sá
Instructions:
Step 1
Start by soaking the salted codfish in cold water for 24 hours, changing the water several times to remove excess salt. Then, shred the cod into small pieces.
Step 2
Peel and slice the potatoes into thin rounds. Parboil them in salted water for about 5 minutes, just until they start to soften. Drain and set aside.
Step 3
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and minced garlic. Sauté until the onions become translucent.
Step 4
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Step 5
In an ovenproof dish, layer the ingredients: Start with a layer of potatoes, followed by the shredded codfish, sautéed onions and garlic, black olives, and chopped parsley. Repeat until all the ingredients are used, with a final layer of potatoes on top.
Step 6
Whisk the eggs and pour them evenly over the top layer.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes or until the top is golden and the eggs are set.
Step 8
Serve hot, garnished with additional fresh parsley and black olives if desired. Enjoy your Bacalhau à Gomes de Sá!
