Bacalao
Norwegian klippfisk, potato and tomato stew with peppers and port.
About Bacalao
Norsk Tradisjonsmat presents this tomato bacalao as a Nordmøre classic, sharing Sigrunn Rosvoll Hals’s recipe through Solvår Skogen Sæterbø. Salted cod, potatoes, onion, peppers and tomatoes form the layered stew.
Tomato purée, ketchup, port, garlic and pepper give the sauce its flavour, with butter, soy oil and olive oil supplying richness. Aromat and a bouillon cube complete the published seasoning.
Pieces of fish and sliced vegetables sit together in the tomato sauce. Flatbrød, beer and aquavit remain optional companions from the source’s serving suggestion.
