- Ready In:
- 50mins
- Ingredients:
- 9
- Serves:
-
4-6
ingredients
- 2 lbs salt cod fish (1kg, soaked, cooked, de-boned, flaked)
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 large onions (diced)
- 4 garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 teaspoon nutmeg
- white pepper (to taste)
- 6 large potatoes
- 6 hard-boiled eggs
- parsley
directions
- Preheat your oven at 400°F (200°C).
- Hard boil your eggs in the potato water.
- Cover the peeled potatoes in water and boil until they are just cooked though, then drain the water and cut them into thin slices and then cut them further into approximately 1 inch x 1 inch ( 2.5 cm x 2.5 cm) bits. It doesn't have to be really precise, just so that the potato slices are in small bits roughly all the same size.
- Put the olive oil into a fry pan and gently saute the onion and garlic until golden but not browned.
- Peel the hard boiled eggs and roughly chop 5 of them, but carefully slice the last egg into rounds for decoration.
- Mix, but don't mash! the flaked, cooked, salt cod with the potato, onion and garlic mixture, then add the nutmeg and pepper and parsley. If the mixture is too dry, a very small amount of water can be added to make it only just stick together.
- Spoon the mix into a baking dish and lay out the decorative egg rounds on the top. Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes until it is completely warmed though.

I knew when I tagged this recipe that it would be a winner for us. It is actually quite a bit like 1 of my own recipes (Recipe #254484), very popular here & esp w/my DH. We both loved this easy-fix w/readily available ingredients for us & we esp liked the use of hard-boiled egg in it. I was surprised that it stayed moist w/o the use of (or need for) any butter or milk. We both found it a bit in need of seasoning ~ DH added pepper & I added Lemon Pepper Seasoning Salt, but those are matters of pers pref. This is certain to be repeated, so thx for sharing this recipe w/us. :-)
