Arroz Con Bacalao (Rice With Cod Fish)
This was one of my father’s signature dishes. He visited us from Panamá twice a year and this was one of his best treats. Unfortunately he will never fix it again as he passed away unexpectedly last week. My neighbor loved this dish and suggested that I share it in my dad’s memory. In reality he know it is cathartic.
