Ingredients | Best Food In Portugal Lisbon

12 ounces dried salted cod fish

vegetable oil for frying

4 large potatoes, peeled and cut into very small cubes

½ cup olive oil

1 large onion, sliced thin

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon butter

1 tablespoon all-purpose flour

1 cup hot milk

1 pinch ground nutmeg

1 ⅓ cups heavy cream

salt and ground black pepper to taste

⅔ cup heavy cream

1 ounce grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

Soak the dried salted cod in cold water with the skin side up for 24 hours, changing the water about 4 times. Drain and discard the water.

Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Place the cod in a pan with enough water to cover; bring to a boil and cook for 10 minutes. Remove the cod from the pan; remove and discard the skin and bones. Cut the cod into chunks and set aside.

Heat 1/2 inch vegetable oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches if necessary, fry the potatoes in the hot oil until just cooked, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain.

Pour the olive oil into a Dutch oven or heat-proof casserole dish over medium heat. Cook the onion and garlic in the oil until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the cod and cook another 3 minutes; stir the potatoes into the mixture and cook another 1 to 2 minutes. Reduce heat to low.

Melt the butter in a separate pan over medium-low heat; vigorously stir the flour into the melted butter. Slowly stream the hot milk into the mixture while stirring; cook and stir until thick. Season with the nutmeg. Pour into the casserole with 1 1/3 cups cream; stir to coat. Allow the mixture to simmer together for about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Drizzle remaining 2/3 cup cream over the mixture; sprinkle with the Parmesan cheese.

Bake in the preheated oven until the top is browned, 30 to 40 minutes. Serve hot.

We have determined the nutritional value of oil for frying based on a retention value of 10% after cooking. The exact amount will vary depending on cooking time and temperature, ingredient density, and the specific type of oil used.
