February recipe: Majorcan sea cucumbers with cod

Majorcan ciurons with cod

Ingredients for 4 people.

Ingredients:

250 g of dry Majorcan ciurons
250 g of salted cod
400 g of spinach
1 leek
1 carrot
1 medium onion
2 bunch tomatoes
3 garlics
1 bay leaf
1 teaspoon of black peppercorns
extra virgin olive oil
salt
good pepper

Soak the watercress for 12 hours, well covered with water and a pinch of salt. We will also cover the salted and crumbled cod with water for 8 hours, changing the water twice.

To boil the watercress, heat water in a pot with garlic, a bay leaf, leek and carrot, previously peeled, cleaned and cut into three pieces. When the water boils, add the watercress and cook for 1 hour and a half.

While the cirons are cooking:

Cut into very small cubes (a brunoisse) the onion.
Peel and dice the tomatoes.
Peel two garlics and roll them.
We wash the spinach, spin it and cut it into thick pieces.
Remove the excess water from the cod.

In a frying pan or a pan with oil, add the rolled garlic. When they begin to brown, add the onion, tomato, salt and pepper, and simmer everything over low heat. When the stir-fry is well done, add a teaspoon of black pepper and the cod. We stir it and let it cook for 3 minutes with a little broth from the watercress. Add the spinach, a little salt and pepper and stir everything.

Finally, add the watercress to the stir-fry, with part of the broth, just so that they remain moist. Mix everything and serve.
