Salted codfish must be soaked in water for at least 24 hours, preferably 48, before cooking. This is necessary to leach out the salt. Change the water 2 to 3 times in a 24-hour period. If the fish is not soaked for 24 to 48 hours, the fish will be so salty as to render it inedible. 

step 1

Rinse the salt cod in water before soaking. Place the fish in a glass baking dish or bowl and cover with cold water. Place in the refrigerator and then every 8 hours change the water. When ready to use, discard water, rinse fish again, and pat dry. Cut into 8 pieces and set aside. 

step 2

Remove stems from dried peppers and soak in a saucepan of hot water until softened. 

step 3

Peel and slice garlic lengthwise. Peel and chop onion. Remove stems and seeds from green peppers and chop into small squares. 

step 4

Pour about 4 oz of olive oil into a large frying pan and heat on medium. Place garlic slices into oil and saut for 2 minutes. Remove garlic slices before they brown and set aside for later. Place cod into the garlic-infused oil and fry on both sides for 5-10 minutes. Remove cod and set aside. Scrape the flesh from the inside of the re-hydrated peppers and stir into the pan juices. 

step 5

In a separate large frying pan, saut onion, peppers, and tomatoes in a few tablespoons of olive oil. Saut for 8-10 minutes, stirring often. When vegetables have formed a "pisto, " turn off heat.
