How To Make bacalhau gomes sa

  • 1
    Place the potatoes in a large heavy saucepan.
  • 2
    Cover them with cold water by at least an inch, add a large pinch of salt, and bring to a boil.
  • 3
    Reduce the heat to medium and simmer for 12 to 15 minutes until the potatoes are fork-tender
  • 4
    Drain the potatoes in a colander and spread them out on a plate.
  • 5
    When they are cool enough to handle, slice the potatoes into 1/4 inch thick slices. Set aside.
  • 6
    Pour 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a large skillet, add the onions and cook over low heat for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender, sweet, and translucent.
  • 7
    Resist the temptation to turn the heat to high, otherwise the onions will brown. The slower you cook the onions, the sweeter they get.
  • 8
    Transfer to a large bowl
  • 9
    Preheat the oven to 350˚F and lightly coat a large shallow baking dish (glass or porcelain) with cooking spray.
  • 10
    Add the sliced potatoes to the onions and toss.
  • 11
    Season potatoes with salt and pepper and spread them onto the prepared baking dish.
  • 12
    Arrange the egg slices and olives on top. Drizzle over another 2 tablespoons of the olive oil.
  • 13
    Season the cod with salt and pepper and place it on top of the potato, onion, egg and olive mixture.
  • 14
    Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil on top of the fish and bake it in the oven for about 12 to 15 minutes until the flesh turns from translucent to opaque white.
  • 15
    Remove the baking dish from the oven and garnish with the fresh chives.
  • 16
    Spoon the cod onto warm plates and serve hot.
