Instructions

1. 1

   Brown the salt cod deeply in the Olive Oil in a heavy pot — patience here pays off later.

2. 2

   Remove it, then let the onion and garlic soften in the drippings with the smoked paprika.

3. 3

   Return the salt cod, add the stock and bay leaves, and bring to the gentlest simmer.

4. 4

   Cover and braise low and slow until the salt cod yields to a spoon, about 45 minutes.

5. 5

   Skim the fat, reduce the sauce to a glaze, and serve with something starchy to catch every drop.
