Another Portuguese lesson. Bacalhau is cod fish.

Scurry off to the store now. Here is what to get;

1 lb. of salt cod ( most times found in little wooden boxes)
5 to 6 large potatoes
2 large onions, sliced
1 green peppers, sliced into slivers
3 hard-boiled eggs, sliced
4 cloves of garlic
black olives, those sliced ones are real good
black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons of parsley, chopped fine if fresh
1 tablespoon of vinegar or the juice of one lemon

Just a side note here that you might want to add either a 1/2 cup of red or white wine. Also, a little nutmeg can be added instead of wine. This dish can be bland to some folks.
Thanks Wes, for your suggestion.
