Ingredients

Servings
8
  • 3 tbsp Portuguese olive oil
  • 2 cup chopped yellow onions
  • 2 tbsp chopped garlic
  • 1 cup chopped green onions
  • 2 tbsp finely chopped fresh parsley
  • 3 medium tomatoes, seeded and chopped
  • 1 tbsp crushed red pepper
  • 2 lb salt cod, soaked, rinsed, patted dry and julienned
  • 1 lb cooked long-grain white rice
  • 1 lemon juiced
  • 0.5 head iceberg lettuce
  • 6 eggs hard-boiled
  • 6 oz queen-stuffed green olives

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a large sauté pan, heat the oil. Add onions, season with salt and pepper, and sauté until golden, about 3–4 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add garlic, green onions, parsley, and tomatoes. Cook 2–3 minutes until tomatoes soften.

  3. 3

    Add crushed red pepper and salt cod. Cook 3 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat.

  4. 4

    Transfer to a mixing bowl. Add cooked rice and lemon juice, then mix thoroughly. Drizzle in enough olive oil so the rice is not dry. Re-season to taste.

  5. 5

    Lay lettuce on a platter. Spoon the rice salad on top. Garnish with hard-boiled eggs and green olives.
