Steps for Cod with Potatoes and Olives
To prepare the cod with potatoes and olives recipe, first pour a drizzle of oil into a large pan, add the garlic and finely chopped onion and sauté over medium heat for a few minutes.
When the onion has softened, add the sliced chili pepper, cubed potatoes, and oregano. Stir and continue cooking for a few minutes, always on low heat.
Add the pieces of cod, placing them on the bottom of the pan, turning them after a while. Add the olives and water.
Cover and cook until the potatoes are tender and the broth is reduced. Turn off the heat and add the chopped parsley.
