Bacalhau à Brás recipe LIVE! (I'm not cooking it LIVE, though)

salted cod

🥗Healthier: fresh cod

💰Cheaper: canned tuna

Fresh cod is lower in sodium, while canned tuna is more affordable.

potatoes

🥗Healthier: sweet potatoes

💰Cheaper: frozen fries

Sweet potatoes add nutrients, while frozen fries save prep time.

black olives

🥗Healthier: green olives

💰Cheaper: no olives

Green olives are lower in calories, while omitting olives simplifies the dish.

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: vegetable oil

Avocado oil offers health benefits, while vegetable oil is budget-friendly.

Heat olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat.

Add sliced onion to the pan and cook until it becomes golden and soft.

Add fried potato sticks (batata palha) to the pan with the onion.

Prepare the salted cod by soaking it in water for about 24 hours, changing the water several times to reduce saltiness.

Flake the soaked cod into small pieces, removing any bones and skin, or use pre-flaked cod from a package.

Add the flaked cod to the pan with the potatoes and onion, stirring to combine.

In a bowl, crack and beat eggs, then pour them over the cod and potato mixture in the pan.

Stir the mixture until the eggs are cooked through and everything is well combined.

Garnish the dish with chopped parsley and optionally with black olives before serving.
