How to cook it
-
Soak the salt cod in cold water for 24 to 36 hours, changing the water two or three times, then drain and flake it into large pieces, discarding any skin or bones.
-
Heat the olive oil in a wide pot and cook the chopped onion and garlic until soft, about 6 minutes.
-
Stir in the chopped tomato, cumin, and paprika and cook until the mixture deepens in color, about 5 minutes.
-
Add the chickpeas, the bay leaf, and a splash of water, then nestle the flaked cod into the pot and simmer gently for 10 minutes so the fish stays tender rather than falling apart.
-
Stir in the spinach in batches until wilted, taste before adding any salt since the cod already carries its own, and serve warm.
