Portuguese Fish
Last week I shared a recipe of a very special chicken casserole. This week, I was lucky enough to pin down Arlette, a family friend of Portuguese origin, and get her cooking in the kitchen. She shared a delicious Portuguese fish recipe while I tried my best during the whole lovely experience to snap a picture of her, but to no avail. She said she would rather remain mysterious, like the dark side of the moon. I was not ready to get into a quarrel with this tough Portuguese cookie.
This is one of those simple and easy recipes that is just divine. The cod is cooked with tomatoes, bell pepper, onions, potatoes and plenty of parsley. Each bite is gloriously mouthwatering.
