"My mom makes this at Christmas time. I’m not a big fan of it but everyone else in the family loves it. It’s a simple dish. *BUY the dried salted cod at least 24 hours before needed, you would need to rinse it many times, place in bowl cover with cold water and keep changing the water every 6 hours."
