0.57 Euro - Baked Dried Cod with Baked Potatoes

Leave the cod to soak overnight, changing the water, then remove and dry. Next, charcoal grill the cod. When cooked, flake the fish and dip the flakes in olive oil heated with garlic and black pepper.

Choose potatoes of the same size, wash them and roll in coarse salt, then bake in the oven. When half cooked punch the potatoes to squash them a little. You can also bake some onions, with the skin on, which is removed when cooked.

This dish will be all the richer if accompanied by strips of charcoal-grilled green peppers.
