Difficulty:

Preparation

Soak the codfish in water the previous day, changing the water three times.  Place in a casserole with some water.  Just before it boils, remove from the flame and carefully remove the cod, drain and place on a cloth.

Brown the sliced garlic in an earthenware casserole, together with some of the dried pepper cut into small strips, in plenty of oil.  When brown, remove and place the cod in the casserole, separated and with the skin face-upwards.  Cook on moderate heat, shaking the casserole using circular movements, and add a little of the water used to soak the cod. As the casserole is shaken, the sauce will start to thicken until it takes on a jelly-like consistency, when the dish is read to serve.  Decorate the codfish with the browned garlic and the non-used pepper.
