Prepare the salt cod by soaking it overnight (12 hours) and changing the water several times

Once you have soaked the salt cod cut it into large pieces and remove any scales or bones

Place the oil and sliced garlic in an earthenware casserole dish and heat slowly then add the cod and cook over a medium heat for about 20 mins

Fry the chopped bacon for a few mins then add the onions, parsley and paprika and fry for a further 20 mins

Add the peeled, chopped tomatoes to the bacon and onion and cook for a further 15 mins -season with salt and pepper

Pour this mixture over the cod in the casserole dish and cook slowly over a low heat for a further 20 mins moving the dish from side to side to prevent sticking - add more liquid if the sauce gets too thick.
