salted codfish

🥗Healthier: fresh fish

💰Cheaper: canned tuna

Fresh fish provides a lighter option while canned tuna is more affordable.

1

Rinse your salted codfish to remove the coating of salt. Cook the codfish for 15 minutes and drain. After it has cooled enough to handle, shred into smaller pieces, checking for any bones and removing them.

2

In a large pan set to medium heat, add your oil and the eggplant. Cook for about 10 minutes or until it has changed color, stirring occasionally to avoid burning.

3

Add in your green pepper and onion. Mix and cook for about 3 minutes. Finally, add your codfish, tomato sauce, and sofrito. Stir well to combine and cook for another 3 minutes. Serve and enjoy.
