Bacalao al Pil-pil (Spain)
Bacalao al pil-pil is a traditional Spanish dish originating from the Basque region. It is prepared with only four ingredients: salted cod, olive oil, garlic and chili flakes. The cod is cooked in olive oil (with garlic and cayenne pepper) and then the gelatin is released, which is necessary for the emulsification of the sauce.
Making a pil-pil is a laborious process that takes between 15 and 30 minutes, and the end result is a creamy sauce that is spooned over the cod before serving. It is recommended to garnish the dish with remaining garlic and chili peppers and then serve hot or warm.
