You are lucky you are not intolerant to the nightshade family of veggies to include tomatoes, eggplant, peppers, etc.etc., etc.

I forgot to tell the poster that sometimes we grate carrot into the sauce to make it sweeter (rather than sugar); some folks find tomato sauce to be too acidic.

Do you have any good Portuguese recipes? My husband worked with a Portuguese couple FIFTY (50) years ago. She would bring in the most delicious Portuguese white fish (I think it was cod) covered with crushed tomatoes and probably oregano, etc., etc......not sure what all went into that topping......then broiled. My Italian dad made something similar but hers was really really delicious.

Glad to see your posts back again. Everyone missed you.

My father was Portugese and we went to the restaurant in Newark, N.J.

My favorite is paella and my best friend loves mariscada, (seafood made in a brandy based sauce. The Portugese sausage, (chourica), made by the same friend is delicious with potato's and onions, with of course, Portugese bread).. He is a very good cook and imaginative.

My brother used to love the bacalau, made portugese style.

I am not a cook but I am handy with a fork.
