Ingredients

  • 4 desalted cod loins (600 g)
  • 200 g extra virgin olive oil
  • 4 sliced garlic cloves
  • 1 dried chili pepper
  • 1 tablespoon chopped parsley
  • Salt to taste

Step-by-step

Choose your robot:
  1. Put the oil, the sliced garlic and the chili in the mixing bowl. Program 8 min/100°C/speed 1.
  2. Remove the garlic and chili with the spatula and set them aside on a plate.
  3. Place the cod loins skin side up in the mixing bowl with the warm oil.
  4. Program 12 min/90°C/spoon speed/reverse to confit without breaking the fish.
  5. Carefully remove the cod and set it aside in an earthenware dish.
  6. Strain the oil from the mixing bowl into a bowl and let it cool slightly.
  7. In the dish, add the oil little by little, moving in circles so the pil-pil gelatinizes and emulsifies.
  8. Place the loins back over the sauce and spread the sliced garlic and chili on top.
  9. Sprinkle the chopped parsley and serve piping hot.

Tips

  • The secret of the pil-pil is the gelatin released by the cod skin.
  • Move the dish in circles patiently to achieve the emulsion.
  • Use well-desalted cod to control the salt level.
