For the confit cod

- 1 l olive oil

Instructions
The confit cod
- Start with the cod, so when its cooking you can prepare the other components.
- In a pot place the cod and cover with olive oil.
- Add the crushed garlic gloves, the bay leaves and the lemon peel.
- Turn the heat on low. You should always cook the cod at low heat otherwise it will dry out, the oil should never overheat or boil! If you have a thermometer, see that the temperature of the oil does not exceed 70 °C.
- The cod will be ready when you start to see small bubbles on its surface.
- The thicker the loin, the longer it will take to cook the cod, so you will have to take into account the time vs density of the fish. The fillet is cooked when it has reached a core temperature of 60 °C.
The cream of roasted peppers with almonds
- With the help of a food processor, grind all the ingredients well until you get a thick cream.
The chickpea salad
- Peel and laminate the onion in julienne as thin as possible.
- In a bowl, place the onion with the oil, vinegar, salt and mix well.
- Leave to soak for 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, cut the mint leaves roughly and cut the cucumber, ideally into small cubes, but you can cut it the way you like best.
- After 10 minutes, mix all ingredients well! Taste and rectify the seasoning if necessary.
Plating
- On a plate put the cream on the base, the salad on top and the cod last. If you want you can use the flavored olive oil to put it on top of everything at the end.
