Cooking Time:
2 hours 30 minutes
Total Time:
2 hours 45 minutes

Step 1: Drain the chickpeas

  • 750 g salt cod, (Bacalao), soaked for 24hrs
  • 350 g chickpeas, soaked overnight
  • 180 g potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
  • 90 ml olive oil
  • 8 cloves of garlic, chopped
  • 1 tsp dried chilli
  • 4 medium tomatoes, roughly chopped
  • 4 tbsp parsley, chopped
  • salt and pepper
  • 300 ml water
  • 1 colander
  • 1 bowl
  • 2 small pans
  • 1 medium sized pan
  • 4 serving plates
  • 1 stirring spoon

Step 2: Cook the chickpeas

Place the pan of chickpeas on the heat. Bring to the boil and add the potatoes. Simmer until tender - about 45 minutes.

Step 3: Drain the chickpeas and potato

When the chickpeas are cooked, drain and set aside, saving cooking liquid for later.

Step 4: Cook the salt cod

Place a pan of water on the heat and bring to the boil. When boiling, add the salt cod and cook for 6-8 minutes.

Step 5: Finish the salt cod

When the fish is cooked, drain and leave to cool. When cool enough to handle, break up into large flakes, discarding the skin and bones.

Step 6: Start the sauce

Heat the olive oil in the large pan, add the garlic and chilli flakes and cook for 1 minute.

Add the tomatoes and chickpeas and cook for another minute. Simmer on a low heat for about 25-30 minutes.

Step 7: Add fish

When the chickpea mixture has cooked for 30 minutes, gently add the salt cod and parsley and stir. Season well with salt and pepper.

Step 8: Serve

Serve with plenty of crusty bread.

    Excellent dish! If you like salt cod you must try this recipe. I added chopped onions wit the garlic and cooked until just soft then cooked the tomatoes with it. I gradually added the water from the chickpeas and cooked it out each time then mixed all the remaining ingredients. Try it with some really nice rustic bread. Delicious take my word for it.

    I used a can of chick peas and deboned cod. The only thing that I didn't understand was what did you do with the water you reserved? I figured out at the end after watching this about 3 times that the reserve was used at the very end when you add to the tomatoes and potatoes and simmer. I used chili powder as I could not find chili's at my local grocer and it worked the same. Although mine did not come out as watery as in this video mine came out more like a stew with less water and it was just as good. I also topped mine off with a touch more EVO.
