1 1/2 pounds cod filets, sliced
3 sliced tomatoes
2 sliced green peppers
3 sliced potatoes
1 sliced onion
3 sliced boiled eggs
1/4 cup sliced green olives
3 tablespoons olive oil
hot sauce

Arrange in an earthen baking dish the cod fish, layered with tomatoes, green peppers, potatoes, sliced onion, boiled eggs, green olives. Dribble over the top olive oil and a few drops of hot sauce. Last layer should be cod fish. Put it in the oven and bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour. When cod fish on top is browned, it should be ready to serve.

Serve in the baking dish.

NOTE: Bacalhau is actually dried cod fish, and when the Brazilians and Portugueses prepare the dish above, they use the salted dried cod fish and go to a lot of trouble soaking and preparing the fish described on the Seafood & Fish chapter. This “modern” version is much easier.
