Photo: Salt Cod, Onions and Potatoes: Bacalhau A Gomes De Sa Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds salt cod
- 1/2 cup plus 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 2 cups thinly sliced yellow onions
- 1 tablespoon chopped garlic
- Salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 2 pounds waxy potatoes, sliced 1/4-inch thick and cooked until tender
- 4 hard-boiled eggs
- 8 black olives
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley leaves
Directions
Soak the cod in cold water to cover for 24 to 36 hours, changing the water occasionally, drain.
Flake the cod into small pieces, removing any bones. Set aside. In a large saute pan, over medium heat, add 1/4 cup of the oil. When the oil is hot, add the onions and the garlic. Season with salt and pepper. Saute until lightly golden, about 6 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Grease a medium ovenproof casserole dish with 1 teaspoon of olive oil. Season the potatoes with salt and pepper.
Spread half of the potatoes over the bottom of the prepared dish. Sprinkle half of the salt cod over the potatoes. Place half of the onion mixture over the salt cod. Top the onion mixture with more salt cod. Place another layer of potatoes over the top of the cod. Drizzle the entire pan with the remaining 1/4 cup of oil. Place in the oven and bake for 30 to 40 minutes, or until golden. Place on a serving platter. Garnish with the sliced eggs, olives, and parsley.

My father makes this dish all the time and it tastes so good. I'm going to attempt to make it tonight. This tastes soooooo good, I wouldn't change anything. I feel like I'm in Portugal when I'm eating this dish.

My favorite Portuguese dinner, especially with some pão caseiro (home baked bread and a glass of vinho-verde! This dish is on our dinner table every Christmas Eve. It's a classic. Thanks for spreading the good word, Emeril!

I loved it! It was easy to make and everyone thought it was delish! Admittedly, I used butter instead of olive oil and I omitted the eggs. I also added salt and pepper after each layer. It paired well with a couple of slices of fried plantain.
