Turkey sausage offers a leaner option while smoked sausage is often less expensive.

Soak bacalhau in water for 24 hours, changing water occasionally to reduce saltiness.

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

Boil potatoes until tender, then slice them.

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat and sauté onions and garlic until translucent.

Add chorizo and cook until browned, about 5 minutes.

Stir in bell peppers and tomatoes, cooking until softened.

Layer the sliced potatoes in a baking dish, followed by the bacalhau and chorizo mixture.

Add cabbage and bay leaves on top, seasoning with paprika, salt, and black pepper.

Drizzle with more olive oil and cover with foil.

Bake for 30 minutes, then remove foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes until golden.

Garnish with black olives and parsley before serving.

Serve with lemon wedges on the side.
