Bacalao (Salted Cod Fish) & Roasted Potatoes

Image
Bacalao Ingredients: 1 pound Dry Salted Cod Fish 1 Yellow Pepper diced 1 Orange Pepper diced 1 White Onion sliced thinly 4 Ripe Tomatos diced Dash of Red Pepper Flakes 1/2 tsp. White Pepper 1 tsp. dry Thyme 5 cloves of garlic pressed or chopped finely 2-3 tbs. Olive Oil Preparation: Soak the Salted Cod Fish in Cold water for 48 Hours before cooking. The water should completely cover the fish. Change the water every approx. every 12-24 hours. I use a large plastic container with a lid on it and keep it in the fridge. I tend to change the water before work and and after work for 2 days.  This removes the majority of the salt from the fish. Otherwise it will be TOO salty.  I cook the dish on the second day of soaking.   Directions: In a large pot, saute the the yellow pepper, orange pepper and white onion over medium heat for 5 minutes with olive oil. Add the pressed garlic cloves, red pepper flakes, white pepper and thyme. Saute for 2 more minutes and stir often. Ad
