Christmas Eve Codfish
Since It’s Christmas Week, i decided to bring you a recipe which many Portuguese love to enjoy on this wonderful holiday. This dish is Bacalhau de Consoada, which is codfish typically made on Christmas Eve. Of course, there is a different way to make codfish for every occasion, it’s the Portuguese way!
Bon Appetit,
