Peri Peri Sauce

Peri Peri sauce is a hot sauce from Mozambique which is popular in South Africa and Portugal, and has been introduced to the world by the Nando’s restaurant chain.  It can be made in varying degrees of hotness depending on how many chilies are added.  In this case, I made two versions, each of which Read More …

Bean and Sausage Stew (Portuguese Feijoada)

There are many versions of bean and sausage stews (feijoada) in Portugal and Brazil.  This is a simple version from Portugal which is suitable for car camping in winter weather.  This version was adapted from Ana Patuleia Ortins’ Portuguese Homestyle Cooking.  I will discuss below the basic recipe and how I plan to adapt it Read More …

Portuguese Clams (Amêijoas na cataplana)

When we lived in Japan, fresh clams were easily available, and this was one of my favorite dishes, served with a good crusty bread, salad, and white wine.  In the US, fresh clams are harder to get, but our local Wegmans sells good quality clams in 50 count bags.   In Portugal these are cooked in Read More …

Bacalau a Gomes de Sa

This combination of dried salt cod, potatoes, and onions is a Portuguese classic.  I have seen it presented many different ways.  In the Pestana Hotel in Curitiba, Brazil, it was in a ramekin and the potatoes were mashed.  This version is from Jean Anderson’s The Food of Portugal.  I cooked it a bit differently from Read More …

This is a very popular Portuguese soup based on potatoes and kale, which makes a good dinner with some crusty bread. It can be found in any Portuguese cookbook.

Portuguese Seafood Rice

This is paella’s soupier Portuguese cousin.  One reason it really appeals to me is that with paella it can be hard to get all of the rice to be fully cooked: the rice grains on the top are sometimes crunchy, rather than fully hydrated.  By cooking the rice in a greater volume of liquid, this problem Read More …
