Salt cod with potatoes and walnuts

Ingredients

• 750 g of already desalinated cod
• 750 g of ground apples
• 100 g of flour
• 100 ml of oil
• 4 cloves of garlic
• 400 ml of water
• 6 walnuts
• One small chili pepper
• 1/2 tablespoon of hot paprika
• Fresh parsley
• 2 hard-boiled eggs (optional)

Clean the cod, cut it into pieces, pat it dry with a clean dishcloth, and lightly dust it with flour. In a pan with some of the oil heated, brown the cod, then remove it as soon as it is browned. In the same oil, brown the garlic and remove it as soon as it is browned, being careful not to burn it, as this would make the dish bitter.

Heat the peeled and diced apples in the remaining oil until they begin to brown. Add the cod, pour in the water, and bring to a boil over high heat for about 10 minutes.

In a mortar, combine the reserved garlic with some parsley, chopped walnuts, chopped chili pepper, and paprika. Then, incorporate this mixture into the dish. Cook for 5 minutes over low heat. If desired, add two hard-boiled eggs, sliced, before serving.
