How to Make Bacalhau Gomes De's Cod Potato Cape Verd

  1. In a large pot, boil 1 lb potatoes until tender. Add 6 large eggs to the same pot during the last 10 minutes of potato cooking time. Remove the potatoes and eggs with a slotted spoon; set aside to cool.
  2. While potatoes and eggs are cooking, prepare the salt cod. (See recipe #242753 for detailed instructions on soaking and cooking dried salt cod.) Once cooked, flake the cod, removing any bones.
  3. Finely chop 1 large onion and sauté in 2 tablespoons olive oil until translucent.
  4. Add the flaked salt cod to the onion, along with 1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley, 1/4 cup pitted Kalamata olives, and 1/4 cup olive oil.
  5. Peel and chop the cooled potatoes and eggs. Add them to the pan along with the salt cod mixture.
  6. Stir everything together gently to combine. Season with freshly ground black pepper (to taste).
  7. Transfer the mixture to an oven-safe dish. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 20-30 minutes, or until heated through and lightly browned on top.
  8. Serve warm, and enjoy the authentic taste of Cape Verde!
