- Once we have the onion and garlic well cut, we take a saucepan and add a little extra virgin olive oil. Let's let it warm up.
- Once the oil is hot, add the onion and garlic and let it cook over low heat until the vegetables begin to brown a little.
- While they are browning we can grate the tomato. We cut it in half and grate it with the typical cheese grater. We keep in a bowl.
- When the onion and garlic begin to take color, add the teaspoon of flour (which will help to give a good texture), the tablespoon of paprika and the tomato.
- Let it cook over medium heat for about 5 minutes. It is important to stir to help all the flavors mix well.
- After this time we add the shredded cod along with the 500 grams of cooked chickpeas. If we prefer we can also add the whole cod loins. We mix all the ingredients for 1-2 minutes over low heat.

I started cosmorecipes in 2020 during the time we were cooped up at home. Having so much free time I spent a lot of time in the kitchen trying different dishes. So I decided to mix cooking with my other great passion: web programming. That's why I decided to open this blog where I post the different recipes that I'm cooking.
