  • One day in advance, soak the cod in cold water. Change the water at least 4-5 times to remove the excessive salty flavor.
  • Put the chopped garlic in a large saucepan with olive oil.
  • Add the cod in pieces and fry. Reserve on a platter and shred the cod. (Note: the cod is fried raw, not cooked in water)
  • In the oil used to fry the cod, add the tomato puree and cook for 15 minutes, stirring with a spoon.
  • Return the cod to the pot and cook for another 5 minutes.
  • Cut the cooked potatoes into cubes.
  • Add the potatoes, olives, capers, and bell peppers (previously cut into small pieces).
  • Cut the pasilla chili (seedless and clean) into pieces and cook in water with vinegar.
  • Put the chili with a little water in the blender and fry with a bit of oil in a saucepan.
  • Add the chili to the cod and simmer everything for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.
  • Add the paprika and chopped parsley.
  • Adjust the seasoning (be careful with the salt because the cod is already quite salty).
  • Serve on a platter and drizzle a little olive oil on top.
