Bacalhau à Brás

Ingredients

• 200 g salted cod - soaked for 24 hours, changing water twice
• 3 medium onions - finely chopped
• 2 garlic cloves - minced
• 4 large eggs - lightly beaten
• 100 g straw fries - fresh or pre-fried
• 50 ml olive oil - for frying
• 2 black olives - for garnish
• 1 tbsp fresh parsley - chopped, for garnish

Step-by-step instructions

1. Start by rinsing the soaked cod under cold water and then boil it in a pot of water for about 10 minutes until tender. Remove from heat, let cool, and then flake the cod into bite-sized pieces, discarding any skin and bones.
2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and minced garlic, cooking until the onions turn translucent and soft, about 5-7 minutes.
3. Add the flaked cod to the skillet and sauté for another 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
4. Gently fold in the straw fries, mixing well to combine. Create a small well in the center and pour in the beaten eggs, stirring continuously until the eggs are just set and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
5. Remove from heat, garnish with chopped parsley and black olives. Serve immediately.

Serving suggestion
