Portuguese-Style Cod with Onions, Peppers & Black Olives

Prato de Bacalhau, Estilo Portugues com cebola, pimentão e azeitonas pretas M y mom is an absolute amazing cook and all of the Portuguese-style dishes I post here are inspired by her incredible talent and expertise! This dish is classic Portuguese. Keep in mind that authentic Portuguese recipes call for dry, salted Cod in their dishes. You can use fresh Cod fillets for this recipe, but I recommend the traditional dried and salted Cod fish, reminiscent of the Azores and the main land of Portugal. If you are truly dedicated to making a genuine Portuguese dish, you can purchase dried, salted Cod and other Portuguese ingredients from our friends at Fernandes Sao Jorge Linguica in Tracy, California.

No-Knead Pretzel Bread

This chewy, delicious bread is seriously to-die-for! I never knew I had it in me to make pretzel bread, but I surprised myself this time. You don't have to knead the dough, which makes it even better! Next time, I will shape the dough into pretzel shapes and make my very own, homemade pretzels! If you want to make the pretzels, simply roll each of the 12 portions into ropes & then twist into pretzel shapes before boiling. Enjoy! 1 1/2 cups warm water 2 packets active dry yeast 1 T. sugar 4 1/2 cups cups all-purpose unbleached flour 2 t. salt, plus 2 t. coarse sea salt for sprinkling 1/4 cup melted butter 1 egg, separated 1/4 cup baking soda 8 cups water In a medium bowl, sprinkle yeast and sugar into the 1 1/2 cup warm water.
