Lentils Stew with Cod and Potatoes
Recipe
- Wash the lentils under tap water, pour inside a pot and cover with cold water. Bring to boil and right after strain the lentils in the sink over a colander. Reserve.
- Peel and cut the onion, the carrots and prepare the garlic head and bay leaf. Take a deep casserole and pour some olive oil, soften the onion and the carrot and when softened, add the garlic head, the bay leaf and the lentils. Pour mineral cold water on top and let it simmer at low heat for 45 minutes or the time the lentils package suggests. Cover with a lid.
- Meanwhile peel and cut the potatoes and reserve. Dry the desalted cod with kitchen paper and reserve.
- 20 minutes before the stew is done, add the potatoes. Stir and cover with the lid.
- When lentils and potatoes are done place the cod, stir a bit and turn heat off. Cover it again.
- 5 minutes later, taste and add salt if necessary.
- As you know, this kind of food is always better some hours later.

Les llenties són la meva llegum preferida, i així servida amb aquesta olleta encara han de ser més bones!! un petonet
You’re right…I would never have thought about bacalao with lentils but it makes sense. The salt you would get from bacon is replaced by the salt from the cod. I will try this one day.
This is just the comforting kind of food we are looking for these days Nuria. Ola from Canada, the Great White North:D
Looks beautiful!
