About the recipe
Cod à algarvia is close to Southern cuisine: tomato, onion, olive oil, and sometimes roasted peppers.
It is prepared in a pot or dish, less formal than the large oven dishes, but equally traditional.
Ingredients
- 600 g of desalted cod flakes
- 4 potatoes
- 2 onions
- 3 ripe tomatoes
- 100 ml of olive oil
- 3 cloves of garlic
- Parsley and coriander
- Black pepper
Preparation method
- Cook the potatoes and slice them.
- Sauté onion and garlic in olive oil.
- Add chopped tomato and cook until it forms a sauce.
- Add the cod and cook for 8 minutes.
- Add the potatoes and gently mix.
- Season with pepper, finish with herbs, and serve.
Tips from Empório Portugal
- Summer ripe tomatoes make a better sauce.
- Coriander enhances the algarvian profile.
- Serve with bread to soak up the sauce.
