  Bacalao a la Viszcaina
 
  • This is traditional comfort food from Cuba that makes for a great main course on a cold day.
  • Cod has a long history and salting cod has been  around for centuries as  a means of preserving the fish without refrigeration. It is a staple for many ancient recipes that are carried over today. For any salt cod recipe you need to soak the salt from the fish in cold water.
Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
