Bacalau
Mmmmmm... yesterday, I found some dried salted codfish at a market.
I broke it apart, soaked it all day in water, changing the water several times- then poached it, breaking it in even smaller pieces. It was a boneless filet.
THEN... I changed the water again, and while it poached...
I sauteed one onion, chopped
two cloves garlic, minced
1 red pepper, chopped
when those were soft, I added two chopped tomatos, and let it all stew a bit.
Then I added the fish and about 1-2 cup of rice, and enough water to cover it all.
I popped a lid on and in about 20 minutes, I had the BEST dinner ever!
People were streaming into the kitchen, saying, ¨MAN, that smells good!¨
I felt guilty because I did not have enough to share
:lol:
I have used the same combination of onion, garlic, pepper, and tomatoe, adding a small can of tuna and a cup of dried macaroni, then covering with water... it makes a GREAT dinner for 2 or 3
people.
All you need is a bit of bread and a glass of wine...
