Bacalaitos con Cilantro Ajo Sauce
Historia
When Don Luis was just a curious niño, he would watch his mamá stand by the hot caldero, spooning golden rounds into bubbling oil while humming to her favorite salsa tunes 🎶. The crispy scent de codfish would drift through the house like a parade, y Don Luis knew—bacalaitos day had arrived. Years later, con his jean-y-leather apron proudly worn y his whippet curled up by the stove, Don Luis put a little twist on the family classic. He added a cilantro ajo dipping sauce—fresco, tangy, y bold—like a Caribbean breeze in your mouth 🌬️🌴. It was a hit across all three generations in his home. Now, he’s passing it on to yours.
