Bacalhau à Brás
A typically Portuguese dish, for the whole family! Super juicy, tender, and full of flavor.
Portions: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 2 fillets previously shredded codfish
- 2 onions
- 2 garlic cloves
- 1 small package straw potatoes
- Olive oil to taste
- 2 bay leaves
- Salt to taste only if needed
- Pepper to taste
- 6 eggs
- Coriander to taste
- Olives to taste optional
Instructions
- Start by thinly slicing the onion and sauteing it in a pan with olive oil until translucent.
- Add the minced garlic and stir well.
- Add the bay leaves and the shredded codfish, and mix everything together.
- Cover the pan and let it cook for about 3 to 4 min.
- Add the straw potatoes and mix them together.
- Add the pepper and salt (only if necessary, since both the codfish and the potato straw are already salty).
- Once cooked, turn off the heat.
- Add the eggs (with the heat off) and stir vigorously so that the eggs do not overcook and become scrambled eggs.
- Sprinkle with coriander for flavoring.
- Garnish with some olives.
Notes
You can use white potato sticks instead of straw potatoes if you want a healthier version.
For a low-carb Bacalhau à brás, replace the potatoes with leek slices.
You can replace the coriander with parsley if you prefer.
As for the eggs, you can either put them in the pot still whole and stir them well or, if you prefer, you can beat the eggs in a bowl and only then put them in the pot. The result is the same, except that in the first option you'll have fewer things to wash.
