Portuguese Tomato & Cod Fish Toast
On a crisp Lisbon morning, the Geedel Manual Chopper prepares cod and cherry tomatoes for savory toast. Baked in 15 minutes with bread and cheese, it's the perfect quick Southern European-style breakfast using simple ingredients.
Ingredients
100g cod fillet (thawed, skin removed)
2 slices of bread (e.g., sourdough or ciabatta)
6 cherry tomatoes (halved)
30g shredded mozzarella cheese
1 garlic clove (minced or pressed into a paste)
1 tbsp olive oil
1/8 tsp salt
A pinch of black pepper
3g fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
1. Prep Cod & Tomatoes: Manual Chopping Preserves Freshness
Pat the cod fillet dry with a paper towel. Place it in the manual chopper for fish fillets and press once lightly to dice into 1cm pieces (avoid over-processing to retain the fish's tender texture).
Wash the cherry tomatoes and use the vegetable chopper to halve them neatly. Set the prepared ingredients aside separately.
2. Mix Topping & Assemble Toast: Visual Appeal Meets Flavor
In a bowl, combine the cod pieces, minced garlic, ½ tsp of the olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Gently toss to coat and let it marinate for 5 minutes.
Place the bread slices on a baking tray. Brush them with the remaining olive oil. Evenly distribute the marinated cod, followed by the cherry tomato halves and shredded mozzarella cheese. Press down gently to help the toppings adhere to the bread.
3. Bake & Serve: Breakfast with a Touch of Ceremony
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Bake the assembled toasts for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the edges of the bread are golden brown.
Remove from the oven, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and slice each toast in half if desired. The combination of the sweet cod, acidic tomatoes, and aromatic cheese on crisp bread is both warming and satisfying—an ideal start to a cool Lisbon morning.
Conclusion
The Geedel Chopper prevents mushy cod and uneven tomatoes—dicing fish effortlessly and halving tomatoes uniformly. Using common supermarket ingredients, it recreates authentic Lisbon-style breakfast toast with no skills needed.
