Cut eggplant into long slices about half an inch thick.

Boil eggplant in water until it comes to a boil, but do not make it too soft as it will finish cooking in a frying pan.

Drain salted cod and rinse it to remove excess salt, boiling it twice to reduce saltiness.

After boiling the cod for the second time, let it cool and shred it into small pieces.

Prepare sliced green peppers, onions, tomatoes, and garlic for cooking.

In a pan, add the shredded cod along with the sliced vegetables and sauté them together.

Add tomato sauce to the pan and let it simmer for about 30 minutes.

After simmering, check the consistency and let it simmer for an additional five minutes before serving.
