This is a dish of our grandmothers, the cod was eaten with everything and it was cooked with vegetables, stewed, with potatoes…. It gave a lot of play since then the cod was very cheap, which is now the opposite.
To make this dish so simple, the most entertaining thing is to soak the cod, but you can buy it already soaked and even salt frozen cod is worth it.
