Information
Cooking Time: 25 minutes
Total Time: 40 minutes
Serving: 4 servings
For main dish, we recommend making a delicious dish made of cod loin, scallops, pork and corn bread Farofa.
This recipe has been prepared by the famous Portuguese Chef, Vítor Sobral, considered one of the impulsors of the modern Portuguese cuisine.
We recommend pairing this dish with a fresh white wine, that will balance perfectly with the cod loin. We suggest Herdade Dos Grous 2020, a white wine with mineral and wood notes, that is fresh, unctuous, buttery, enveloping, with a lively acidity that balances the whole.
