Bacalhau à Brás

A Portuguese dish of flaked, desalted cod, onion and shoestring potatoes, bound with softly scrambled egg and finished with black olives and parsley.

This version for four combines desalted cod with softened onion, ready-fried shoestring potatoes and egg. Add the potatoes just before serving to preserve some of their texture, and take the pan off the heat as soon as the egg begins to set.
