Codfish & Shrimp Kernels Salty Braid

With a kind of a gourmet vibe to its presentation this is one of the best salty combinations I've ever tried and it made the wonders of my guests for dinner this past weekend. A very pleasant-looking pastry, confectioned with a filling of cod cooked in extra virgin olive oil, mix of onions and deliciously seasoned shrimp kernels that together made for a wonderfully flavourful dish and a a very rich-tasting combination. 

Ingredients:
  • 1 onion
  • 1 red onion
  • garlic
  • extra virgin olive oil
  • salt
  • grounded chili  
  • codfish
  • 250gr shrimp kernels
  • mustard 
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 sheet of puff pastry
  • eggwash
  • sesame seeds 
In a frying pan sauté the thinnly sliced onions in olive oil, salt and chopped garlic until cooked well. Bake the two desalted cod slices, leave to cool, shred and remove skins and bones. Bake the onions in olive oil and add the cod.Put two tablespoons of butter in a saucepan, let it heat and add two cloves of chopped garlic. Add the previously defrosted and drained shrimp, season with salt and grounded chili and add 3 tablespoons of mustard. Let it soak well and set aside. Then place the stuffing of cod and shrimp kernels in the puff pastry,and make the braid with the previously cut sides, brush with eggwash and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Bake in preheated oven at 200º until browned.
