Ingredients
salt cod fish
1 lb (soaked, drained, and shredded)
parsley
2 1/2 tablespoons (chopped)
onion
1 large (minced well)
olive oil
8 tablespoons (for sautéing)
dry sherry
2 teaspoons (for deglazing)
tomatoes
2 large (peeled and chopped)
green olives

garlic

salt and pepper
(to taste)
pimientos
1 (4 ounce) can (shredded)

1/4 teaspoon
Instructions
1
Start by soaking the salted cod in a large bowl of cold water for approximately 8 hours. This will help to remove excess salt and rehydrate the fish.
2
After soaking, drain the cod and carefully shred it into bite-sized pieces, ensuring any skin or bones are removed.
3
In a large skillet or pot, heat the 8 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced onion and sauté until it becomes translucent and soft, around 5-7 minutes.
4
Stir in the minced garlic and continue to sauté for an additional minute, allowing the garlic to become fragrant.
5
Add the shredded cod to the skillet and sauté for about 5 minutes to combine the flavors well.
6
Next, incorporate the chopped tomatoes, dry sherry, chopped green olives, shredded pimientos, parsley, oregano, salt, and pepper to taste. Mix everything together gently.
7
Reduce the heat and allow the mixture to simmer slowly for about 30-40 minutes, or until the cod is tender and the flavors meld together beautifully, stirring occasionally.
