1

Se ainda não tens o bacalhau cozido, coza o bacalhau.

2

Num tacho, aquece a água de cozer o bacalhau e junta o pão até ensopar bem.

3

Com a tampa, escorre o excesso de água — o pão deve ficar apenas húmido.

4

Junta o bacalhau desfiado, os alhos, os coentros e o azeite.

5

Envolve tudo ao lume.

6

Esmaga o pão com um esmagador e continua a mexer até obter uma massa espessa.

7

Tempera com sal e, com o lume desligado, junta os ovos batidos, mexendo sempre vigorosamente.

8

Volta a levar ao lume só até os ovos ficarem mal cozidos e a açorda cremosa.

9

Aquece um alguidar de barro com água quase a ferver, escorre a água e serve lá a açorda decorada com folhas de coentros.
