First the salted cod is soaked in cold water for 24-48 hours to remove the excess salt, changing water every 8 hours. Once desalted, the cod is drained and scraped clean.[3]
Then the fish is crumbled and poached for about 10 minutes.
For the sauce the onions, garlic and bell peppers are first sautéed . Then tomato puree and paprika are added and cooked. To finish the dish, the cod pieces and sauce are mixed and served.
