Portuguese Easy Fish and Eggs recipe: Bacalhau A Brás! ASMR Cooking

salted cod

💰Cheaper: fresh cod

Fresh cod is more readily available and less salty.

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: canola oil

Canola oil is less expensive and has a neutral flavor.

black olives

💰Cheaper: green olives

Green olives are typically cheaper and still add brininess.

white wine

💰Cheaper: chicken broth

Chicken broth adds flavor without the cost of wine.

Peel two potatoes and cut them on a mandolin to make small potato sticks.

Add a generous amount of olive oil to a frying pan and heat it up.

Once the oil is hot, add the potato sticks and fry them until they take a little color, being careful not to brown them too much.

Remove the fried potato sticks to dry and add salt to them.

Chop the onion, garlic, parsley, and black olives.

Boil water and add the codfish for only two minutes to avoid overcooking.

In a frying pan, add a little oil and incorporate the chopped onion first, cooking over medium heat to poach it.

After 4 minutes, add the minced garlic and then the crumbled codfish, along with black pepper and nutmeg.

After a minute or two, add the reserved potato sticks and mix well.

After two minutes, add the beaten eggs and parsley, and turn off the heat as soon as the eggs are incorporated.

Let the eggs cook with the residual heat of the pan and other ingredients, aiming for them to be slightly undercooked or runny.

Finish the dish by adding the black olives and the remaining chopped parsley.
