Preparation
Cod:
- In a bowl, mix the sweet paprika with olive oil.
- Pour this mixture over the cod steaks in a tray.
- Transfer the cod to a pot, cover with olive oil, and add the parsley and garlic.
- Cover the pot and cook over very low heat for one hour. (It is crucial to keep the heat low; otherwise, after 30 minutes, the cod, parsley, and garlic will look fried instead of gently confited.)
Cornbread crumbs:
- Crumble the cornbread into a bowl.
- Add the drained black-eyed peas and a bit of collard greens.
- Mix everything well and drizzle with some of the olive oil used for the cod.
- Stir again, and serve on the side with the cod.
