About Bacalao a la riojana
Sofía de la Torre presents bacalao a la riojana as a traditional cod stew from La Rioja. Her version combines salt-ready cod loins with homemade tomato frito, roasted red peppers and choricero pepper flesh.
The fish is described as soft and smooth against the stronger tomato-and-pepper sauce. Red onion, garlic, bay and white wine provide further seasoning, while the roasted peppers’ juices reinforce their flavour.
A portion of cod sits over a base of sauce for each diner. The source recommends bread and Rioja red wine alongside, represented here as optional accompaniments to the fish.
