How To Make Bacalao Guisado/ Fast Version/ #shorts

salted cod

🥗Healthier: fresh cod

💰Cheaper: canned tuna

Fresh cod is lighter, while canned tuna is more affordable.

black olives

🥗Healthier: green olives

💰Cheaper: no olives

Green olives can be a lower-sodium alternative.

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: vegetable oil

Avocado oil has a high smoke point and is healthy.

Soak salted cod in water overnight, changing water several times.

Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat until shimmering.

Sauté chopped onion and garlic until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Add diced bell pepper and continue to sauté for another 2-3 minutes.

Stir in chopped tomatoes and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.

Add soaked cod, black olives, capers, bay leaves, and thyme to the pot.

Pour in enough water to cover the ingredients and bring to a boil.

Reduce heat to low and simmer for 20-30 minutes until cod is tender.

Add lime juice and chopped parsley just before serving.

Serve hot with rice or boiled plantains.
