CHEF’S TIPS

To ensure your codfish rice turns out perfectly, properly desalt the codfish by changing the water several times during the process. Steam the broccoli to maintain its vibrant color and crunchy texture. When sautéing the codfish, add a splash of dry white wine to enhance the flavor. Serve the codfish rice immediately after preparation to fully enjoy its texture and aroma. This dish is an excellent option for a special dinner or for using leftover codfish from other preparations. Furthermore, codfish rice is a great way to incorporate more vegetables into your diet in a tasty and creative way.
