Ingredients (4-5 servings)

• 4 bacalhau (dried and soaked codfish) pieces (200g/7oz each)
• 10 garlic cloves
• 1/2 broa (cornbread)
• olive oil, salt, chili pepper flakes, q.s.

Instructions (Time: 1 hour)

Broa might be the most difficult ingredient to get for this recipe. I’ve never made broa and from what I’ve heard it’s somewhat difficult. I will try to make it and I’ll share the recipe at a later time. Chop the broa with a food processor if you have one or with your hands.

It will crumble to pieces. Add some olive oil (~2 tablespoons), the garlic, a bit of salt and a bit of chili pepper flakes.

Place the bacalhau on a baking tray. Just look at these beautiful pieces of bacalhau.

Press the broa mixture on top of the bacalhau and don’t worry if it falls in the baking tray. Pour olive oil in the baking tray until it reaches 1/3 of the pieces. Bake in a preheated oven to 200ºC (390ºF) for 40 min (I lowered the temperature to 180ºC (350ºF) for the last 10 minutes because the broa was getting too dark).

Serve with punched potatoes or with some boiled cabbage.
