Portuguese Cod Rice (Arroz de Bacalhau) Recipe

1. Remove the bones and skin from the soaked cod, then shred it into smaller pieces.
2. Cut the onion and garlic cloves into small pieces.
3. Add them to a pot with olive oil, covering the bottom.
4. Let it cook until the onion is translucent and the garlic begins to turn slightly golden.
5. Once the onion and garlic are ready, add the tomatoes (chopped into small pieces).
6. Let them cook for about 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly.
7. Add the chopped bell peppers of different colors and oregano.
8. Add a little water and let it cook for another 5 minutes.
9. Add the shredded cod and mix until everything is well incorporated.
10. Add a bit of water if needed (you may not need to add salt, as the cod may still be salty unless it was soaked too long).
11. Finally, add the rice and stir.
12. Add enough water to cover the rice completely and then some more (about 2 1/2 cups of water per 1 cup of rice).
13. Cook for a few minutes until the rice is fully cooked.
