Ingredients

  • 100g of flaked cod 
  • 40g of onion 
  • 1 egg + 2 yolks
  • 5g chopped parsley
  • 100g potato sticks
  • 5 olives
  • Salt and oil to taste 

Onion Sauce:

  • 1 kg of sliced onions
  • 100g of chopped garlic
  • 2 bay leaves
  • salt, pepper and olive oil to taste

Preparation

Sautee the onion and garlic, with the bay leaf, in some olive oil.

Add the flaked cod, and mix with the onion.

After beating and straining, add the eggs and, on a very low heat, stir the mixture continually so that it doesn’t stick and so that it maintains a creamy texture. At the same time start adding the potato sticks, saving some for the end together with the chopped parsley.

Garnish with olives and chopped parsley.
