BAKED COD FISH PORTUGUESE STYLE (BACALHAU)

Baked Cod Fish Portuguese Style (Bacalhau) image

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

1 1/2 pounds cod filets, sliced
3 sliced tomatoes
2 sliced green peppers
3 sliced potatoes
1 sliced onion
3 sliced boiled eggs
1/4 cup sliced green olives
3 tablespoons olive oil
hot sauce

Steps:

Arrange in an earthen baking dish the cod fish, layered with tomatoes, green peppers, potatoes, sliced onion, boiled eggs, green olives. Dribble over the top olive oil and a few drops of hot sauce. Last layer should be cod fish. Put it in the oven and bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour. When cod fish on top is browned, it should be ready to serve. Serve in the baking dish. NOTE: Bacalhau is actually dried cod fish, and when the Brazilians and Portugueses prepare the dish above, they use the salted dried cod fish and go to a lot of trouble soaking and preparing the fish described on the Seafood & Fish chapter. This "modern" version is much easier.
