portuguese food

This is a staple plate in Portugal. This is the type of food that “avós” --- grandmas --- of all Portugal cook for a regular weeknight meal. A Portuguese feijoada is the most comforting meal that you can ever make with cheap and easy to find ingredients.

Portuguese Feijoada Recipe

onion

carrot

potato

celery

Portuguese chorizo ((note 1))

can (420 gr red pinto beans (with the liquid of the can))

(210 gr white beans drained.)

spinach

garlic

tomato paste

meat broth ((note 2))

water

bay leaf

thyme

Sprinkle of pepper

olive oil

In a big sauté pan over medium heat pour the olive oil and cook the chorizo cut into slices. Remove the chorizo from the pan when it is semi-crispy and has released its natural oil. That’s the key for the flavor.

Toss the onion and after a couple minutes add the garlic and cook until the onion is almost transparent.

Toss the carrot, the potato, the celery and the tomato paste. Stir well.

Add the red pinto beans (with the liquid), the white beans, the chorizo and the spinach. Pour the meat broth and the water. Season with the bay leaf, thyme, and pepper (note 3). Simmer for about 15 minutes over medium heat.

Remove the bay leaf and serve with some fluffy white rice.

Portuguese people are known for cooking up great seafood. More specifically...Marisco! We love our squid aka calamari, aka Lulas, and guisadas is just one of many ways of doing it. This provides a one pot, hearty meal for the whole family. Great any time of year, and don&#39;t forget to bring some bread to dip in the sauce!
