Method
- Boil the salt cod for about 8 minutes. Drain, remove skin and bones and flake into coarse pieces. Keep the cooking water.
- In the same water, cook the potato cut into chunks and the roughly chopped cabbage for about 15 minutes. Drain well.
- Warm the olive oil over medium heat with the sliced garlic, about 2 minutes, just until the garlic turns golden, without letting it burn.
- Add the cod, potato, cabbage and chickpeas and sauté over high heat for 5 to 6 minutes, stirring little, so some crust forms. Season with the salt and freshly ground pepper.
- Splash in the vinegar, add the olives and chopped parsley, taste and adjust salt and pepper, and serve.
