Preparation

Cod:

  1. In a bowl, mix the sweet paprika with olive oil. 
  2. Pour this mixture over the cod steaks in a tray.
  3. Transfer the cod to a pot, cover with olive oil, and add the parsley and garlic.
  4. 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:

  1. Crumble the cornbread into a bowl.
  2. Add the drained black-eyed peas and a bit of collard greens.
  3. Mix everything well and drizzle with some of the olive oil used for the cod.
  4. Stir again, and serve on the side with the cod.
