Bacalhau à Narcisa
Braga salt cod with olive-oil-fried potatoes and paprika-seasoned onions.
About Bacalhau à Narcisa
Bacalhau à Narcisa is a Braga salt-cod dish also associated with the names Bacalhau à Braga and Bacalhau à Minhota. This profile follows a complete Narcisa recipe of fried cod, sliced potatoes and paprika-seasoned onions, finished with black olives and parsley.
Salt cod gives the dish a concentrated savoury flavour, balanced by sweet softened onion and mild potato. Olive oil carries the fish's richness, paprika adds warm earthiness, and parsley provides a fresh finish.
Golden cod loins form the centre of the plate, bordered by round fried potato slices and topped with soft amber onion. Red paprika, dark olives and chopped green parsley give the otherwise golden dish clear colour contrast.
