PREPARATION:

5. Separate other ingredients and utensils from the recipe.
6. Grate the parmesan if you didn’t buy it grated.
7. Remove the skin from the bacon and cut it into cubes.

12. If you have not purchased the pitted ones, remove them and cut the olives into cubes.
13. Wash and dry the parsley and spring onion and chop them. Book on absorbent paper.
14. Preheat the oven to 200o C.
PREPARATION:
MASHED POTATOES FOR ESCONDIDINHO COD:
1. Wash, peel and cut the potatoes into medium cubes.
2. In a pan, cook the potatoes in salted water until they are very soft.

4. Return the squeezed potatoes to the pan. Add the butter, olive oil and milk.
5. Bring to the boil and cook until it no longer sticks to the pan. Season with salt.
6. Turn off the heat and set aside.
JUMP FOR THE ESCONDIDINHO COD

3. Add the cod cut into pieces and the bay leaves and brown without stirring too much to avoid breaking the chips.
4. Add the garlic and brown it a little more (it must be al dente).
5. Pour in the wine and cook until the alcohol has evaporated.
6. Add the tomato and olives and season with salt and pepper.
7. Turn off the heat and add the reserved bacon, parsley and green onion and drizzle with the remaining olive oil.
8. Grease one or more refractory molds with olive oil, remove the bay leaf(s) and add the cod stew.
