Preparing the confit cod is very easy. It is about cooking it in oil at a very low temperature, between 70 and 80ºC. Simple and fast, and it is really tasty. Learn how to prepare it through a few simple steps.
Ingredients to make cod confit:
- 2 units of salted cod loins
- ½ liter of Oil
- 1 clove garlic
- 1 unit of Chili
How to make code confit:
- Prepare the ingredients to cook the cod confit. We have bought the cod loins directly salted; otherwise, they will have to be desalted in advance. The oil should preferably be extra virgin olive oil, because it will be juicier and healthier.
- Peel the garlic clove and put it on the fire in a saucepan with plenty of oil. This will have to cover the cod loins completely, so if necessary we add more.
- When the garlic is already golden, add the chili and lower the heat to a minimum. We will use a kitchen thermometer to control the temperature of the oil. You have to wait until it is at 80ºC. Then we introduce the code -which will be somewhat cold from the fridge, and the temperature will drop to 70ºC. The cod will cook slowly at this temperature for 10-15 minutes, depending on how thick the fillets are. If the temperature rises too much, we can also turn off the heat directly and leave the cod for a little longer if necessary.
- After this time, the confit cod is ready to serve. We can accompany it with some boiled potatoes with Serrano ham shavings, and a dry white wine is ideal to drink.
