About Bakalar na Brudet
Gastronaut presents this bakalar na brudet among the specialities of Kvarner cuisine. Cod and potatoes form a layered stew with onion, garlic, parsley, bay and olive oil.
The fish supplies a savoury flavour, supported by onion and garlic. Parsley and bay add herbal notes, while olive oil enriches the cooking liquid. Honey is an optional regional addition described by the publisher.
Pieces of cod and sliced potatoes remain arranged in layers. The liquid surrounds the fish and potatoes, giving the finished dish a moist, substantial character.
