Break the desalted cod into large pieces and check that no bones remain.
Saute the onion, garlic, red peppers, and green peppers in olive oil for 8 minutes.
Add the grated tomato, salt, and black pepper, then cook the sauce for 12 minutes.
Add the cod pieces to the sauce and cook for 8 minutes, turning gently.
Beat the eggs, lower the heat, and stream them into the dish while stirring.
Finish the ajoarriero with parsley and remove it from the heat once the eggs bind into a creamy texture.
💡 Tip: Taste the desalted cod anyway; if it is still too salty, soaking it in cold water for 20 minutes helps with imported products sold in Turkey.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve ajoarriero warm like a hot meze plate, with optional boiled potatoes or toasted bread.
