Instructions

1
If using salt cod, soak for 24 hours in the fridge, changing the water two or three times, then drain.
2
Simmer the cod gently in fresh water for 10 minutes, then remove, flake, and discard skin and bones, reserving the cooking liquid.
3
Add the onion, summer savory, pepper and potatoes to the reserved liquid, topping up with water to cover, and simmer 20 minutes until potatoes are tender.
4
Return the flaked cod to the pot and simmer for 5 more minutes.
5
If using dumplings, mix flour, baking powder and milk into a soft dough, drop into the simmering broth, cover and cook 15 minutes without lifting the lid.
6
Taste before adding salt, since cod can still carry a lot of it.
7
Serve hot in bowls.
