This dish was inspired by my mother's Portuguese cod boil. I use to love having it on Friday nights so I thought why not recreate it and hit it with a twist. I will not talk about what was in my mother's recipe because we can not have half of those items so I incorporated new items and it tastes just a great if not better. The great thing is that it certainly is better for you.
