Bacalhau à Brás (Salt Cod with Eggs and Fries)

Method

1. 1

   Heat the olive oil in a wide skillet over medium heat; add the sliced onion and cook until soft and turning translucent, about 5 minutes.

2. 2

   Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute — don't let it brown.

3. 3

   Add the flaked cod and warm it through, stirring gently, about 3 minutes.

4. 4

   Fold in the crisp potato sticks, tossing until every strand is coated in onion and cod.

5. 5

   Pour in the loosely beaten eggs and drag gently off the heat until barely creamy — then STOP.

   💡 The eggs finish on the plate. Set eggs turn Brás into breakfast hash.

6. 6

   Scatter the olives and parsley over the top.

7. 7

   Serve immediately, while the eggs are still soft and glossy — Brás is eaten hot, straight from the pan.
