Bacalao image

This dish is rich and not salty at all. Bacalao is delicious when made into fritters, coated with bread crumbs and deep-fried, or served stuffed into a roasted sweet pepper. Angela Tamura, ZuZu's chef, prepares it more simply, accompanying it with a crispy garlic crostini. Bacalao is served at ZuZu for $8.00. This recipe is meant to serve two as an appetizer, I think it would be great with soup and a salad! The cod has to be soaked overnight and the water must be changed an average of two times.It is served with garlic-rubbed, toasted olive "oiled" crostini! (I am sure you at least got my drift!)

I would not recommend this recipe. It was a waste of time and ingredients.

This recipe was a disaster! The fish was mushy and the sauce was watery. I don't think I'll be trying this recipe again.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my bacalao turned out really dry. I think I might have cooked it for too long.

The fish was a little overcooked for my liking, but the sauce was delicious.

This recipe is a little bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more spices next time.

This bacalao recipe is a great way to use up leftover fish. I had some cooked cod in the fridge, and this recipe was the perfect way to use it up.

This bacalao recipe is a keeper! The fish was perfectly cooked and flaky, and the sauce was flavorful and delicious. I served it with roasted potatoes and vegetables, and it was a hit with my family.
