A Family Bacalao Recipe

Laura Gonzalez is kind enough to share her family recipe for bacalao con garbanzos -- codfish with chickpeas. She has been making it for Friday dinner for the past 25 years! Enjoy. And feel free to post responses to how it turned out.

I soak the Bacalao with the Garbanzo beans over night.

Next morning take the Bacalao out and empy the water.

Cover the garbanzo beans with water and cook until

soft.

In a skillet make a "sofrito" with garlic, onions,

green or red peppers, tomato sauce and pimentos.

Simmer for about 30 minutes.

Once the garbanzos are soft, mix the bacalao with the

garbanzos and cook for about one to two hours. Add

potatoes too.
