Saltfish and bakes

Instructions

1. Soak the salt cod in cold water for 24 hours, changing the water several times, then drain and flake it.
2. Cook the cod in simmering water for five minutes, then drain it well.
3. Fry the chopped onion, garlic and chilli in the oil for five minutes, then add the diced tomato and the thyme.
4. Stir in the flaked cod and let it simmer for ten minutes over low heat, until the mixture is dry and fragrant.
5. For the bakes, mix the flour, baking powder, sugar and a pinch of salt, then add the lukewarm water to get a soft dough.
6. Knead for 5 minutes, then divide into small balls and flatten them to about one centimetre thick.
7. Fry the bakes in oil at around 170 °C for about 4 minutes per side, until they puff up and turn golden.
8. Serve the cod piping hot with the bakes still warm.
