Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 1 Place hard bread into a pot. Cover bread with several inches of cool water, place a lid on the pot, and soak for 8 hours to overnight. Also rinse salt cod under running cool water; place into a pot. Cover fish with several inches of cold water, cover with a lid, and soak in the refrigerator for 8 hours to overnight.
  2. 2 Add salt to soaked bread and bring just to a simmer over medium-low heat and simmer for 2 minutes. Drain immediately; cover to keep warm.
  3. 3 Drain fish and cover with fresh water; bring to a boil. Cook until fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork, about 20 minutes. Drain fish; remove any bones. Stir fish into prepared hard bread.
  4. 4 Cook and stir fatback in a frying pan over medium heat until golden brown, about 10 minutes. Pour fatback and drippings over fish and bread mixture. Stir gently just to combine; serve immediately.
