Bacalao a la Vizcaína (Keto - sin Papa)

Key ingredients
Desalted codfish, extra virgin olive oil, onion, garlic, red and green bell peppers, crushed tomatoes, minimal tomato paste, pimentos, green olives, bay leaf, salt, black pepper.
How to make it keto
Explicitly request no potatoes. Confirm no sugar is added to the tomato products (crushed tomatoes, tomato paste). Ask for extra olives for flavor and fat.
Watch out for
