Hey everyone, it is John, welcome to my recipe page. Today, we’re going to prepare a distinctive dish, bacalao. It is one of my favorites food recipes. For mine, I am going to make it a bit tasty. This will be really delicious.
Bacalao (pronounced [bah-kah-LAH-oh]) is the Spanish term for dried and salted codfish. After the fish has been cleaned and eviscerated, it is salted and dried. It's then sold whole or in fillets, with or without the bone.
Bacalao is one of the most favored of current trending meals in the world. It’s easy, it’s quick, it tastes delicious. It’s appreciated by millions every day. Bacalao is something that I have loved my entire life. They’re fine and they look fantastic.
To begin with this particular recipe, we must prepare a few ingredients. You can cook bacalao using 13 ingredients and 6 steps. Here is how you can achieve it.
The ingredients needed to make Bacalao:

This dish is rich and not salty at all. Bacalao is delicious when made into fritters, coated with bread crumbs and deep-fried, or served stuffed into a roasted sweet pepper. Angela Tamura, ZuZu's chef, prepares it more simply, accompanying it with a crispy garlic crostini. I decided to try this recipe and everyone loved it!
Instructions to make Bacalao:
- Take the salted codfish out of the package and place in a large pot with enough water to cover the codfish. Boil for 45 minutes to an hour (you might need to add water if it starts to get low). You want cook most of the salt out. Once the fish is cooked strain it and set aside and make sure all bones are taken out (very important). Then chop finely and set aside.
- Chop all bell peppers into thin strips. Also rough chop the tomatoes and set aside (try and keep as much of the juice as possible). Don't forget to mince the garlic.
- Oil saute pan and start heat on medium. Add the garlic, sofrito, recaito, and sazon cook for about a minute (combine by stirring)
- Now add the onion, bell peppers and tomatoes. cook until soft and well blended.
- Lastly add the finely chopped codfish and combine well. Turn off heat (let it sit for about 5 minutes to allow the flavors to marry)
- Serve over white rice
I halved the amount of capers and olives because I assumed it would come out salty but it didn't. Drain the cod and break it into small flakes with a spoon. Bacalao guisado, Puerto Rican Cod Stew, is a quick and delicious meal perfect to feed a crowd or for batch cooking. Dried and salted cod, sometimes referred to as salt cod or saltfish, is cod which has been preserved by drying after salting. Cod which has been dried without the addition of salt is stockfish.
