Authentic Lagareiro Style Codfish
To make this traditional Portuguese dish you only need a few ingredients. That is, salt cod loins, extra virgin olive oil of good quality, baby potatoes, onions, garlic, and fresh herbs such as: bay leaves, thyme, and rosemary.
There are lots of different ways of preparing this dish, my favourite one is to infuse the olive oil with the onions, garlic, and herbs before drizzling the fish with it. The onions will soften a little and taste slightly sweet balancing out the saltiness of the fish! The secret is not to be afraid of using lots of olive oil. After all it’s called Bacalhau à Lagareiro, meaning ‘olive oil mill style cod’ for a reason.
