Codfish Stew - Jose Gourmet

A rich, traditional Portuguese-style stew built around salted cod (bacalhau), slow‑cooked in a tomato‑forward base with olive oil, onions, and garlic. The texture is hearty and rustic: tender flakes of cod suspended in a silky, slightly thick sauce that balances sweet tomato, savory allium, and the gentle salinity of cured fish.

Best Enjoyed:

• Warmed gently and served with crusty bread, boiled potatoes, or white rice

• Paired with a crisp white like Vinho Verde or a light red such as Dão

• Works beautifully as a small plate, tapas-style, or as part of a seafood spread

✨ Vibe

Elegant but rustic — exactly what José Gourmet is known for. It tastes like a refined version of a dish you’d get in a Lisbon tasca: simple ingredients elevated through care, tradition, and excellent olive oil.
