INSTRUCTIONS

Preparing the Codfish

1. Start by cutting the onion into slices and arrange them in the bottom of a baking tray, together with two chopped garlic cloves. Arrange the Codfish on top of the onion, skin side down, and generously drizzle with Adega Mayor Olive Oil.
2. Place the tray in a preheated oven at 180 degrees Celsius for about 40min. The time in the oven will depend on the thickness of the cod.
3. Meanwhile, use a food processor or chopper to mince the corn bread and two garlic cloves.
4. After 30 mins, sprinkle the corn bread over the codfish and bake again for 5 mins until the bread is nicely browned.

Preparing the Spinach

1. Bring water to the boil and season it with crushed garlic cloves, salt and a drizzle of Adega Mayor olive oil.
2. When the water is boiling, add the previously washed spinach.
3. After 5 mins, remove the spinach, drain it and rinse in cold water in order to stop the cooking and to keep the spinach's vibrant colour.

Preparing the Potatoes

1. Wash the potatoes thoroughly by rubbing their skin to remove all the dirt.
2. Chop the onion and garlic, and cut the potatoes into medium-sized slices, arranging them on the bottom of a tray on top of the onion and chopped garlic.
3. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, and drizzle generously with Adega Mayor Olive Oil.
4. Place the tray in the oven for about 45 mins until the potatoes are slightly crispy.
5. Serve by arranging the codfish on a bed of spinach and potatoes and drizzling once again with a generous portion of Adega Mayor Olive Oil.
