Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 pounds dried codfish
1 gallon water
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 green bell pepper, chopped
1 medium onion, chopped
2 large tomatoes, chopped
2 culantro* leaves, chopped
2 whole bay leaves
2 red bell peppers, chopped
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 tablespoon capers
2 potatoes, peeled, diced and boiled until tender
4 sprigs cilantro, leaves chopped, for garnish

Steps:

Add the boiled potatoes and cook until heated through, about 2 more minutes.
  • Garnish with cilantro. Serve with rice or cooked plantains, if desired.
  • Serving suggestion: white rice or cooked plantains.

I made this dish with a few modifications and it turned out great! I used a different type of fish and added some vegetables to the sauce. It was a delicious and healthy meal.

This dish was very good, but it was a bit too spicy for my taste. I would recommend using less chili pepper next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my dish turned out very bland. I followed the recipe exactly, but the sauce just didn't have much flavor.

This dish was very good, but it was a bit too time-consuming to make. I would recommend it for a special occasion.

This dish was a bit too salty for my taste, but otherwise it was very good. The fish was cooked perfectly and the sauce was flavorful.
