Açorda (The poor man's dish)

Originating from the Alentejo region of Portugal, this used to be a regular recipe in my household growing up. This is an easy and extremely cheap recipe that can be made in less than 20 mins. Also a good recipe to use up old bread.

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Soak the salted cod 24 hours prior to cooking to remove the excess salt in cold water. Change the water 3-4 times prior to cooking. You want the cod to have no taste of salt at all.
