Will cod be the favorite ingredient of Holy Week?
Probably yes.
And there are reasons for this to happen: it is usually easy to cook, you can buy it salted, fresh or frozen, and it goes well in different types of recipes.
Here we bring together a medley of starters, first and second, fresher and more filling, with or without vegetables, with legumes or rice, of our own creation and from traditional recipe books from different areas of Spain and our Portuguese neighbors.
