Savor the vibrant Spanish flavors in this comforting dish.
Ingredients:
  • 500g dried salt cod (bacalao) (see note),
  • 750ml milk
  • 2 flat-leaf parsley sprigs, plus 500.00 ml chopped leaves
  • 2 thyme sprigs
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1 garlic clove, chopped
  • 20.00 ml sherry vinegar (see note)
  • 60ml white wine vinegar
  • 125ml olive oil
  • 60ml orange juice
  • 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
  • 24 black olives (we used a mixture of small and large olives)
  • 3 oranges, peeled, flesh segmented
  • 500.00 ml watercress sprigs
Instructions:
  • Prepare the cod by rinsing it thoroughly before placing it in a dish filled with cold water. Allow it to soak in the refrigerator for 2-3 days, remembering to change the water every day.
  • Before cooking, thoroughly rinse the cod and gently dry it with paper towels. Place it in a saucepan along with the milk, parsley sprigs, thyme, and bay leaves, adding more cold water if necessary to cover. Bring to a boil, then remove from heat and let it sit for 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Drain the fish and chill in the fridge for 30 minutes.
  • Prep the vinaigrette by mashing garlic and 1 teaspoon salt in a large bowl. Add vinegars, oil, and juice, then season to taste. Flake the cod, removing skin and bones, and marinate in the vinaigrette. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.
  • Before serving, combine the cod with onion, olives, oranges, and watercress. Transfer the salad to a serving platter and sprinkle with chopped parsley.
