Mexican Christmas Eve Dish: Bacalao a la Vizcaina

If you're looking for a good recipe for Christmas Eve, Bacalao a la Vizcaina is a traditional Mexican favorite you can consider.

Bacalao a la Vizcaina is a dish made with salted cod. So if you decide to make the dish, you need to get working on it now because the cod fillets need to soak in water for a couple of days to pull most of the salt out of them. (If you don't get to this in time for Christmas, the dish is also popular on New Years Day.) The dish is a colorful and flavorful combination of tomatoes, potatoes, garlic, cod, olives and peppers.
