Filetes A Portuguesa Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Rice

   In a medium pot, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add 1 cup of rice and a pinch of salt. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15-20 minutes or until the rice is cooked and water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and set aside.

2. 2

   Cook the Vegetables

   In a separate pan, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the mixed vegetables and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until tender. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat.

3. 3

   Prepare the Seafood

   In a shallow dish, combine flour, salt, and black pepper. Dredge the codfish fillets in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the codfish and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and keep warm.

4. 4

   Cook the Scallops and Shrimp

   In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds. Add the scallops and shrimp, cooking for about 3-4 minutes until they are opaque and cooked through. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

5. 5

   Serve the Dish

   On a plate, serve the fried codfish fillet alongside the sautéed scallops and shrimp. Add a serving of rice and vegetables on the side. Garnish with lemon wedges.
