Eggplant millefeuille with cod

Milhojas de berenjena con bacalao

Cod is a white fish and is characterized by its low fat content.

Due to its texture and mild flavor, it is a highly appreciated fish in our gastronomy and we can find it in a multitude of preparations.

Between layer and layer of eggplant we are going to put desalted cod cut into very small cubes, only seasoned with virgin olive oil, salt, pepper and a little basil and we will present it in the form of millefeuille with the slices of eggplant cooked in the pan.

As a final touch, we will accompany this millefeuille with a simple sautéed cherry tomatoes dressed like a tomato salad since we are also going to serve it cold.

The result is an original, tasty and very fresh dish. Ingredients: 4 people
