Soak the watercress for 12 hours, well covered with water and a pinch of salt. We will also cover the salted and crumbled cod with water for 8 hours, changing the water twice.
To boil the watercress, heat water in a pot with garlic, a bay leaf, leek and carrot, previously peeled, cleaned and cut into three pieces. When the water boils, add the watercress and cook for 1 hour and a half.
While the cirons are cooking:
In a frying pan or a pan with oil, add the rolled garlic. When they begin to brown, add the onion, tomato, salt and pepper, and simmer everything over low heat. When the stir-fry is well done, add a teaspoon of black pepper and the cod. We stir it and let it cook for 3 minutes with a little broth from the watercress. Add the spinach, a little salt and pepper and stir everything.
Finally, add the watercress to the stir-fry, with part of the broth, just so that they remain moist. Mix everything and serve.
This dish gains flavor if left to rest for a few hours before serving. You can also prepare it the day before and reheat it right away.
