  • Preparation: 720 min
  • Cooking: 25 min
  • Makes: 1 serving (92 g)
  • Difficulty: Medium
  • Diets: Low carb
  • Contains: dairy, fish, gluten, pork

Ingredients

  • 22 g Salt cod
  • 30 g Bread rolls, hard
  • 12 g Salt pork
  • 20 g Onions, raw
  • 8 g Butter, unsalted

Method

  1. Soak the salt cod and the hard bread rolls (a stand-in for hardtack) separately in cold water overnight, changing the water two or three times, until the cod is plump and much less salty.
  2. Drain the cod, cover with fresh water, and simmer for 15-20 minutes until it flakes easily; drain and flake, discarding any skin or bones.
  3. Meanwhile squeeze out the soaked bread and warm it through in a pan, breaking it into soft chunks.
  4. Dice the salt pork and fry with the onion in a skillet for 5-6 minutes until crisp and golden, to make the scrunchions.
  5. Toss the flaked cod and soaked bread with the butter, top with the scrunchions and their fat, and serve hot.
