Bacalao

2 pounds of dried cod or Bacalao
2 onions
6 cloves of garlic
1 julianned green bell pepper
1 table spoon of vineger
1/2 cup olive oil
1 teaspoon of salt
1/8 teaspoon of oregano
3 roma tomatoes
sprinkle black peppers
dash of red pepper flakes


First you have to boil the dried bacalao. So you want a deep pot and fill it with water. Once the water boils, discard it and refill with cold water. And wait till it boils again and then discard the water. So you should do this three times. And this should take out all the salt. taste a few different peices to make sure that there is no salt. This method works perfectly for me.

Saute onions first until they start getting tanslucent. Next add the garlic and let it marry with the onions. Then add the rest of the ingredients except for the bacalao. Add a 1/4 cup of water and let everything simmer until the tomatoes create a small sauce. I didnt have cilantro but I would've added some if I had. Now finally combine the bacalao with the mixture and let simmer.
You can eat this with white rice or yuca. I made it today with some potatoes.
So you would be able to boil the bacalao a day before. And then just prepare. This is a very easy dish. Enjoy!
