Norma Duvall has been our most universal star. Winning the Miss Madrid trophy in 1973 was the start of a career that would become international in show business. She started in theater and later moved to musical revue, replacing Barbara Rey at the Lido Theater in Madrid. Years later, he was already winning as a vett at the Folies Bergère in Paris.
During his amazing 66 years, he participated in the 7th edition of Master Chef Celebrity last year. Despite this, the former vedette admits that she is not a cook at home, although everyone in her family has been: her mother, grandmother, sister and even her three children.
When asked in a recent interview which dish would stand out from her family cookbook, she recalled a dish that her mother made at home and that she “inherited” from her grandmother’s tradition: cod with roasted peppers and tomatoes..
This recipe is nothing short of a classic cod a la riojana, which is prepared with pre-roasted bell peppers. At Norma’s house (for the Puri family) they made it with just four ingredients (ground cod, onions, natural tomatoes and red peppers), but we’re going to give you a slightly enriched recipe from Cocina Fácil.
