Bacalhau

I lived in Porto, Portugal for two years a long time ago and have always loved it – the people, the towns, the country and the food, which is streets ahead of any Spanish cooking. Bacalhau is the national dish and there are 365 ways of cooking it, so they say. It has a strong pungent flavour and I love it.

This is a particularly interesting method of cooking it. The turnips give a marvellous taste to the mixture.
