Description

While the cod is soaking, the water should be changed several times — and each time the pot should be rinsed to ensure no salt remains at the bottom. The finished dish should be salted very carefully.

Ingredients

Cod fillet - 8.8 oz
Olive Oil - 4 tablespoons
Leek - 6 pieces
Salad Potatoes - 26.5 oz
Salt - to taste

Step by Step guide

Step 1

Dry the cod, place the fish in a pot, add 500 ml of water, and bring to a boil. Remove the pot from the heat and take out the fish.

Step 2

Remove the skin, flake the flesh with a fork, and remove any bones that may be present. Then return it to the broth in which the fish was cooked.

Step 3

Clean and chop the leek, and cut the potatoes into cubes.

Step 4

Heat the olive oil in a pot, add the leek, and cook, stirring over low heat for 5 minutes. Add the potatoes and cook for another 5 minutes. Add 2 liters of water, bring to a boil, and simmer for 35 minutes until the potatoes start to break down.
