Bacalhau à Brás (Soy-Free)
A classic Portuguese cod dish made keto-friendly and safe for soy allergies using clever substitutions. Bacalhau à Brás features shredded salt cod, eggs, and potatoes, here swapped for celeriac.
Ingredients
- 1 lb Salt Cod (Bacalhau)
- 2 medium Celeriac
- 4 tbsp Olive Oil
- 2 medium Onions
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 6 Eggs
- 1/2 cup Black Olives
- 2 tbsp Fresh Parsley
- 1/4 tsp Salt
- 1/4 tsp Black Pepper
Instructions
- 1Soak the 1 lb of salt cod in a large bowl of cold water for 24 to 48 hours, changing the water every 6-8 hours, until the cod is desalted. After soaking, drain the cod, then shred it into small, flake-like pieces, carefully removing any bones or skin.
- 2Peel the 2 medium celeriac and cut them into thin, matchstick-like strips, approximately 1/8-inch by 1/8-inch by 2 inches long. Thinly slice the 2 medium onions.
- 3Heat the 4 tbsp of olive oil in a large 12-inch skillet over medium heat (approximately 325°F / 160°C). Add the sliced 2 medium onions and cook for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are softened and translucent.
- 4Add the 3 cloves of garlic, minced, to the skillet and cook for 1 minute more, stirring constantly, until fragrant.
- 5Stir in the shredded 1 lb of salt cod and the prepared 2 medium celeriac strips. Continue to cook for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the celeriac is tender when pierced with a fork.
- 6In a medium bowl, whisk the 6 eggs with the 1/4 tsp of salt and 1/4 tsp of black pepper until well combined. Pour the egg mixture evenly into the skillet with the cod and celeriac. Cook for 2 to 4 minutes, stirring constantly with a spatula, until the eggs are just set but still appear moist and creamy.
- 7Remove the skillet from the heat. Stir in the 1/2 cup of black olives and the 2 tbsp of fresh parsley, chopped. Serve the Bacalhau à Brás immediately.
