Yes, it's salted cod, prepared in the oven. With a lot of fresh virgin olive oil and garlic, not much else required.

This style of preparing it originated when people took their olives to the Lagar (the place with the equipment to press them), extracted them and had this rich, rich olive oil - which you waited a full year for, there's only one crop per year.

That is basically Olive juice, and the freshest the better. Can't get any fresher than just after pressing it. 😜

so people devised this style, recipe, to taste the oil and prepare a meal. It goes in the oven, and the olive oil gets infused by the garlic, and then penetrates the potatoes, which have been hit by a hand blow to crack them (Batatas ao Murro is the local name, Potatoes Smacked in a free translation).

This takes a while to prepare, time in the oven. but it's worth the wait.

Accompany ANY Cod dish with RED wine, not white. The fish is tangy with concentrated flavour, and white just is not robust enough.

@11112011 Knows this style for sure. 😉 🍷
