I’m Greek, but I have a confession—I’ve never actually cooked with salt cod (bakaliaros)! It’s such a classic ingredient in Greek cuisine, especially for dishes like bakaliaros skordalia, but I’ve always been a little intimidated by it.
I recently picked up some salt cod from the store, and now I’m staring at it, wondering where to start. How long do I need to soak it to get rid of the salt? Should I be changing the water frequently? And once it’s ready, what’s the best way to cook it so it tastes authentic?
If you have any family recipes, tips, or advice for working with salt cod, I’d love to hear them. I feel like I’m missing out on such a traditional part of our food culture, and I’m excited to try it.
