Bacalhau à Gomes de Sá
Bacalhau à Gomes de Sá is a traditional Portuguese dish made primarily with salted cod, known as bacalhau. This recipe originated in the 19th century and is named after its creator, José Gomes de Sá, a merchant from the northern city of Porto. The dish typically includes ingredients like potatoes, onions, olives, and hard-boiled eggs, all baked together to create a flavorful and hearty meal.
