PREPARATION:

Malandrinho cod rice:

1. Put a drizzle of olive oil in a thick-bottomed pan, add the bacon and heat it over a high heat, stirring occasionally to release the fat and brown it.
2. Remove the bacon and set aside on a serving plate.
3. If the bacon has released a lot of fat, discard some of it.
4. Add the chopped onion and sauté until it starts to change colour.
5. Add the garlic clove and sauté for another 1 minute.
6. Add the peppers, mix and continue to fry for another minute.
7. Add the cod cut into pieces and fry for another 2 minutes.

10. Place the celery pieces and bay leaf(s) in the pan.

12. Mix and season with salt and pepper.

14. Continue to monitor the amount of water and the cooking of the rice (it must be al dente).
15. If necessary, add a little more boiling water: the rice should be well wet, without drying out.
