🧂 Ingredients

• 1 pound bacalao

  (salted codfish) (450 gr)
• 2 tayota (chayote)

  or 4 large potatoes (optional)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil

  (30 ml)
• 1 medium red onion

  diced (150 g)
• 3 cloves garlic

  crushed (15 gr)
• 1 bell pepper

  diced
• 1 large tomato

  diced (250 gr)
• 4 medium eggs

  lightly beaten
• ½ teaspoon salt

  (or more, to taste)
• ½ teaspoon pepper

  (freshly-cracked, or ground) (or more, to taste)
• 3 sprigs parsley

  chopped

Instructions

• 1 Rinse the bacalao to wash off as much salt as possible. Peel and cut tayotas or
  potatoes into quarters (if you want to add either, this is optional).
  
  Place bacalao (and tayota or potato) in a large pot. Boil in a gallon [4 l] of
  water until the tayota or potato is tender (20 - 25 mins), and the bacalao
  flakes off – remove whichever cooks first if it doesn't happen simultaneously.
  Remove the pot from the heat and discard the water.
  
  Taste the bacalao, if it still is too salty, submerge in clean water and let it
  rest for half an hour. Cool everything to room temperature.
• 2 Remove the skin and core of the tayotas, as well as any of the fibrous parts
  around the pit. If you used potatoes, peel them. Cut into either into cubes.
  
  Remove the skin and bones of the bacalao. Shred into spoon-sized pieces.
• 3 Heat the oil over medium-low heat in a large pan.
  
  Add onion and cook and stir until it starts to become translucent. Add garlic,
  and cook and stir for 30 seconds. Add bell pepper and tomato. Cook and stir for
  2 minutes. Add tayota (or potato) and bacalao, cook, and stir until everything
  is well mixed and heated through.
  
  Pour in eggs, cook stirring until the eggs set. Season with salt and pepper to
  taste.
• 4 Sprinkle with parsley. Remove from the heat and serve.
