Recipe
First I left the cod desalting for a little over 24 hours, changing the water every 6 hours approximately.
In a pan I put 1.5 liters of milk with 1 bay leaf, 1 sprig of rosemary and thyme and let it boil until it boils. I hung up.
In this milk I put the cod fillets and took it to the low fire for another 5 minutes.
I turned it off and left it in the covered pan for 10 minutes. I removed all the posts and unraveled. Reserve.
With this milk, I made a bechamel* sauce, using 3 tablespoons of flour and 3 tablespoons of butter.
*Sweet the flour in the butter, add the milk, 1 bay leaf if you want and cook the sauce until the desired consistency.
I cut the onions into thin slices and sautéed in olive oil over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Without letting it caramelize too much. When it was translucent, I added the wine and let it evaporate.
I sautéed the cod, fried garlic, onion, garlic, pepper with approximately 1/2 cup of oil. Seasoned with pepper, fresh oregano, parsley and chives. See at this point if you need salt. In my case I didn't need to.
I cooked the potatoes cut into small cubes (it ended up being overcooked) it should be al dente, after cooking I put it in the frying pan with a little oil just to give it a golden color.
Fry the garlic in slices until golden.
Mounting:
At the bottom of the refractory I put a thin layer of béchamel sauce, added the potatoes, parsley and chives, then the sauteed onion, the sauteed cod. On top I put the olives and the sliced garlic, finally the béchamel sauce followed by the grated cheese with a little breadcrumbs.
Bake in the oven at 200° until browned.
Tip: this recipe can be prepared the day before, just do the whole process until assembly and take it to brown the day. Perfect for parties. However, I do not recommend freezing.
