Although I'm posting this for the 2005 World Tour, this is for me a dish from childhood. My Cape Verdean mother made this often and served it with tuna fish cakes. I loved mine smothered in catsup. This makes a huge batch and we often served it reheated with more onions, linguica and fried eggs for breakfast the next day. Traditionally, it is made with kidney or lima beans but I remember Nana (my grandmother) making it with peas to accommodate my bean-hating aunt. Enjoy!

YUMMMMMMMMM. The dish is simple and delicious. My Husband is from Cape Verde & when I made the dish he recognized it as a dish from his island. That made me feel good! Of course I served this with fried eggs (over easy). I used dried kidney beans and cooked them in my slow cooker. Thank you so much! Please share more Cape Verdean recipes (do you have one for Cachupa?).

Oh, yum! I toned down the rice and spices for three servings but kept the amount of onion and beans the same. Great!

I haven't tried this recipe, but I too am Cape Verdean and use a similar recipe, but use Jasmine rice, which is sooooo flavorful in itself, I also use a packet of Goya Sazon, and a packet of Goya chicken bouillon (pollo con tomate) for flavor rather than paprika, garlic powder and salt and pepper to taste. It is absolutely delicious and goes with most anything. Glad to see Cape Verde represented on this site!

My godmother is Cape Verdian, but we've lost touch over the years and the recipe has been in limbo. Thanks so much for posting it. Tastes as good as I remember.
