Soak the salt cod in cold water for 36 hours, changing the water several times.
Drain the cod, flake it into large pieces, and remove the bones.
Dice 1 kilogram of the tomatoes and grate the rest.
Cook the onions in olive oil for 15 minutes, until translucent.
Add the garlic and tomatoes, and simmer the sauce for 35 minutes until thickened.
Add the cod and half of the parsley to the sauce, and cook for 15 minutes.
Add the potatoes, olives, capers, almonds, and pickled chili peppers.
Cook the dish over low heat for 20 minutes, until the flavors come together.
Serve hot with the remaining parsley.
💡 Tip: Soaking the salted cod for at least 36 hours and changing the water keeps the dish from becoming overly salty.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve the bacalao in deep plates with hot potatoes and parsley.
