My aunt Angelita’s cod pie
Ingredients
- 200 g onion

- 200 g potato
- 600 g flaked salty cod
- 200 g butter
- 100 g homemade tomato sauce
- 400 ml liquid cream
- Salt
- Pepper
- Olive oil
- Tronchon cheese
Instructions
- First desalt the cod.
- Place under a running tap and gently rub the cod with the fingers to remove the salt.
- Place the cod in a bowl covered with cold water and leave in the refrigerator for 12 hours.
- Remove, drain and cover with cold water and place into the refrigerator.
- Repeat this process twice.
- Once desalted, dry well on a kitchen towel, so it does not release water during preparation.
- Cut the onion and leek in brunoise and slowly fry with butter until they become soft.
- Remove and reserve.
- In the same butter fry the potatoes until soft.
- Meanwhile, fry the cod in a pot with olive oil at 70 C°, without allowing the oil to reach a boil.
- Once the cod is cooked, add to the other ingredients (potato, leek and onion) in the pan used to fry the vegetables, allowing the flavors to mix well.
- Next add the homemade tomato sauce, and allow to cook for a few minutes and lastly add the cream and allow to cook for another 5 minutes.
- Transfer to an earthenware casserole dish, sprinkle with grated Tronchon cheese and grill.
- When the cheese toping has a golden color the dish is ready
