Bacalhau com Natas

Bacalhau com Natas is the velvety side of Portuguese cooking — salt cod folded into a rich cream sauce with onions and thin potatoes, then baked under a golden gratin. It is a dish of pure indulgence, comfort food that tastes like a warm blanket on a rainy day.

While purists argue over the perfect ratio of cream to cod, everyone agrees it belongs at the center of the table, bubbling from the oven. Pair it with a light green salad; the richness needs a bright, crisp companion.
