Side-by-side mode- The day before, set cod in a large bowl of water to desalinate. Change water after an hour, since its water is already saturated with salt. Drain cod and crumble entirely while separating its fibers.

- With olive oil, roast peppers and onion in a large and flat pan (for rice based dishes), to which is added Bird's eye chili sliced into pieces.

- Peel garlic and remove central stem. Chop a bit of parsley. Set garlic, parsley and saffron in a mortar and crush until everything is homogenized. Add a ladle of boiling water and dissolves.
- Add to the pan filled with rice, small peas, mortar contents and boiling water, until it rise the height of the handle. Mix everything. Simmer for 20 minutes. Cool down for 1 to 2 minutes, out of heat. Serve right away.
