Healthy Greek style cod – Bakaliaros (Μπακαλιάρος)

by Christina & George January 31, 2021

This recipe is so light and delicious that you won’t feel overly full afterwards. The white fish with potatoes and vegetables is Greek food at it’s healthiest. With lots of flavor and lovely scents.

Many Greeks actually eat fish on certain fasting days, where they can not eat meat or other animal products. That’s when they cook Bakaliaros (Μπακαλιάρος).

Ingredients

  • 500 grams of cod (frozen) - the same as 4 pieces
  • 3 leeks
  • 1 kg. (2.2 lbs.) potatoes
  • A whole stalk of celery
  • 3 spring onions
  • Juice from 2 lemons
  • 1.25 dl (0.5 cup) of olive oil
  • 3 dl (1.25 cup) of water
  • 2 teaspoons of salt
  • Pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Rinse the leeks, celery and the spring onions well. Chop all three ingredients into small pieces. With the leeks, you cut them in half on the long side, before chopping the stems into pieces (use the green top part as well as the white part).
  2. Mix together all greens in a strainer and rinse them again, before putting them in a bowl.
  3. Peel the potatoes and slice into flat pieces.
  4. Juice the two lemons.

  5. In a large pot, layer the ingredients. First you place 1/3 of the greens on the bottom of the pot, followed by 1/3 of the potatoes and two pieces of cod. (Rinse cod with cold water first).
  6. Sprinkle some salt on the bottom layer (evenly sprinkle salt on each layer, so you use two teaspoons in total).
  7. Repeat with another layer of greens, potatoes, cod, and a sprinkle of salt. At last you place the remaining greens and potatoes to top it all off.

  8. Add the oil, lemon juice, rest of the salt, pepper, and water to the pile. No stirring, just pouring.
  9. Put the pot on the stove top and start cooking on a medium-high heat.
  10. When you see it boil and the vegetables have released a decent amount of water (after about 15 minutes), take the pot off the heat and hold it with your hands. Gently move the pot in a circular motion to stir and move the water around.
  11. Put the pot back on burner, turn the heat down and cook on medium temperature for another 45 minutes. Make sure to shake the pot a bit every now and again.
  12. On your own plate, add more salt or lemon if necessary to enhance the flavor.

With 2022 just around the corner, we've been looki With 2022 just around the corner, we've been looking back at the memories of 2021. 

We went to Kalymnos, with Christina being seven months pregnant in the crazy heat wave of July and August, and with no AC in the house! 🔥😅 That was tough.

In October, our beautiful daughter was born, and we really hope to baptize her at Agios Savvas next summer 🙏🏼💕

Despite the chaos of corona, we hope all of you have created many beautiful memories in 2021 ❤

Καλή Παναγία! 💙 The 15th of August Καλή Παναγία! 💙

The 15th of August is one of the biggest celebrations in the Greek Orthodox faith.

Today we celebrate the Virgin Mary, or Panagia, The Dormition of the Mother of God. This holy day marks the occasion of the Virgin Mary's bodily ascent to heaven at the end of her life. ☦

Χρόνια πολλά 🇬🇷

The favorite beach among many, as the big sandy beach provides comfortable sunbeds with umbrellas, many food and drink options and calm weather (for the most part).

The iconic view with Telendos in the background and the many shops and restaurants just a short distance away, makes this place the perfect spot to spend hours of your day 😀

Relax. Swim. Sunbathe. Repeat. 👌🏼
