Ingredients

Servings:4
  • 500 g Salted cod (soaked and shredded)
  • 250 g Shoestring potatoes (batata palha)
  • 6 units Large eggs
  • 2 large Onions, thinly sliced
  • 3 units Garlic cloves, minced
  • 100 ml Extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 cup Black olives
  • 1/4 cup Fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 pinch Salt(optional)
  • 1/2 tsp Black pepper
  • 1 unit Bay leaf

Instructions

  1. 1

    Sauté the thinly sliced onions, minced garlic, and bay leaf in olive oil until the onions are soft and golden.

  2. 2

    Add the shredded cod to the pan and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to incorporate with the onions.

  3. 3

    Remove the bay leaf and add the shoestring potatoes to the pan, tossing gently to mix with the cod.

  4. 4

    In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs with a pinch of salt, pepper, and half of the chopped parsley.

  5. 5

    Lower the heat to minimum and pour the egg mixture over the cod and potato mixture.

  6. 6

    Stir constantly for 2-3 minutes until the eggs are creamy and cooked but not dry; the texture should remain moist.

  7. 7

    Remove from heat immediately to prevent the eggs from overcooking.

  8. 8

    Garnish with the remaining parsley and black olives before serving hot.
