Instructions
Instructions
- Pour cold water over cod in large bowl. Cover. Refrigerate at least 4 hours or up to 2 days, changing water 3 times a day, until most of the salt is removed. (The less time the cod is soaked, the saltier it will be.) Drain. Break cod into large flaky pieces. Set aside.
- Heat oil in large skillet on medium heat. Add onion, garlic, almonds and red pepper; cook and stir 3 minutes or until onions are softened. Stir in tomatoes. Bring to boil, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat to low; simmer, uncovered, 15 minutes or until most of the liquid has evaporated.
- Gently stir in flaked cod, cooked potatoes, pimientos, olives, bay leaves and oregano until well blended. Bring to boil. Cover. Reduce heat to low; simmer 15 minutes longer or until cod is tender. Stir in parsley. Serve over rice, if desired.
