Bacalhau à Brás

Bacalhau à Brás is a cherished traditional dish from Portugal that is both hearty and flavorful. It features salted cod, onions, crispy fried potatoes, and scrambled eggs, all amalgamated into a delicious concoction. To complete the dish, it is typically garnished with black olives and fresh parsley, which not only adds a splash of color but also enhances the flavor.

This dish is believed to have originated in Bairro Alto, a historic neighborhood in Lisbon. The name "Brás" might even be derived from the creator's name. Interestingly, the "à Brás" cooking technique is not exclusive to cod; it can also be adapted to various other ingredients such as vegetables and mushrooms, making it a versatile option for different tastes and dietary preferences.
