Ajoarriero Navarra
Ajoarriero Navarra is a traditional dish from the Navarra region in Spain. It is a delicious and hearty recipe made with salted cod, garlic, peppers, tomatoes, and olive oil.
To make Ajoarriero Navarra, the salted cod is soaked and then simmered with the other ingredients until everything is well blended and flavorful. The dish is typically served with crusty bread or potatoes.
Ingredients
- 1 pound salted cod
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large onion finely chopped
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 2 red bell peppers thinly sliced
- 2 tomatoes peeled and chopped
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 pinch cayenne pepper (optional)
- fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Start by desalting the salted cod. Rinse it under cold water, then place it in a bowl and cover with water. Allow it to soak for about 24 hours, changing the water every 6-8 hours. This will help remove the excess salt.
- Once the cod is properly desalted, drain and cut it into small pieces. Set aside.
- In a large skillet or pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté until they become soft and translucent.
- Add the sliced red bell peppers to the pan and continue cooking for a few more minutes until they start to soften.
- Next, add the chopped tomatoes, paprika, salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper (if desired) to the pan. Stir everything together and let it simmer gently for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
- Now it's time to add the pieces of desalted cod to the pan. Carefully mix everything together, making sure the cod is well coated with the sauce. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pan, and let it simmer for around 15-20 minutes, or until the cod is fully cooked and tender.
- Once the Ajoarriero Navarra is ready, remove it from the heat and garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and freshness.
- Serve the Ajoarriero Navarra hot, accompanied by crusty bread or boiled potatoes.
