Recipe: Bacalhau à Brás

Bacalhau à Brás is a classic Portuguese dish made with salt cod, crisp potatoes, onions, garlic, eggs, parsley and black olives. This version, shared by Cristian Isidro for Global News, serves four and takes about an hour to prepare, not including the time needed to soak the cod. The recipe starts by soaking the salt cod in the refrigerator, changing the water several times until it is pleasantly seasoned. The cod is then gently poached in olive oil, flaked, and combined with thinly fried potatoes and slowly cooked onions and garlic. Beaten eggs are stirred in at low heat until creamy and just set, then the dish is finished with parsley and olives. The recipe also notes a shortcut using readymade potato sticks and includes foodsafety guidance for storing leftovers.
