Arroz de bacalhau

Arroz de bacalhau is a simple Portuguese dish consisting of salt cod, rice (often of the basmati or carolino variety), sautéed onions, garlic, olive oil, tomatoes, peppers, water or vegetable or fish stock, and white wine. Some variations also add cooked red beans to the combination, while others combine the salt cod-rice mixture with leeks, garlic, olive oil, and onions. The dish is usually garnished with chopped cilantro and black olives, and it is typically enjoyed either as a main course or as an accompaniment to Portuguese-style fish fillets. Arroz de bacalhau is commonly prepared in the coastal parts of the country.
