Wed, 06 May 2009 00:43:15 -0400

Simple, healthy, and lovely dessert from Top Tour of Spain site posted for ZWT5. Amounts for brown sugar were vague so I guessed at what they meant. What does little brown sugar or 1 glass of single cream mean? If someone else can clarify especially the cream amount, zmail me. Feel free to use whatever fruit you have on hand. Notice how you can grill it outside or under your broiler. No time was given for how long to grill it so think it might be 2 minutes? -- posted by WiGal

Bacalhau - Portuguese Codfish Cakes

Wed, 06 May 2009 00:49:00 -0400

The Portuguese, like the Spanish and the Basques, have always had salted cod to fall back on in hard times. The fish was very popular with these groups for two reasons....first it tasted like the old country and second....they could afford little else. The soaking time for the cod (18-24 hours) is not included in the prep time. -- posted by luvcook'n

Portuguese Coconut-Custard Tarts (Pastéis De Coco)

Wed, 06 May 2009 16:40:26 -0400

A decadent Portuguese dessert from Leites Culinaria posted for ZWT5. Step 8 bothers me a bit. If you stir it while it is in the oven, you must have to not stir it the last 5 minutes or so-so that it can brown? Just not use to stirring my baked goods, I guess. If someone wishes to clarify this, zmail me. -- posted by WiGal

Emeril Lagasse's Portuguese Sweet Bread

Wed, 06 May 2009 17:45:55 -0400

This is a recipe that has been handed down for generations in Emeril's family. It is his family's favorite bread to have at Easter, but can be made at any time. This recipe makes five small loaves. It is very hands-on, requiring kneading but it works very well. The prep time is for rising. Note: If making for Easter, you can add a colored Easter egg to the top of each loaf during the final rising. You would need 5 colored Easter eggs, one for each loaf. -- posted by LifeIsGood

Spring Mackerel With Sour Grapes and Saffron Salsa

Fri, 08 May 2009 11:10:09 -0400

This recipe comes from the Portuguese islands of Madeira and the Azores (Chicharros de Agraco com Molho de Acafrao). Fresh sardines and mackerel are favorites in the Portuguese cuisine and while fresh sardines are hard to find, mackerel are more readily available. Usually made in midsummer, the grapes used are sour because they are in the middle of their growing season and are thus immature -- you can substitute mature grapes, unless you have a vineyard nearby! The ingredients all speak of Portugal: fish, olive oil, saffron, garlic, onion, grapes. Traditionally, this is made in a casuela, an unglazed earthenware dish which will fry without burning ... you can substitute any heavy seasoned cast iron or non-stick pan. An unseasoned pan will ruin the wonderful cornmeal coating and skin of the fish ... We had this recipe at a restaurant in the Douro Valley, but this version is from Elisabeth Luard's "The Food of Spain and Portugal". Submitted for Zaar World Tour 5 (2009). -- posted by Gandalf The White

Chicken, Bacon and White Bean Soup Portuguese Style

Fri, 08 May 2009 11:51:00 -0400

One of Emeril Lagasse's favorites. This is a soup his mom would always cook. He describes it as a stick-to-your-ribs soup. Enjoy! *Note: the dried beans need to soak for at least 8 hours. You could do that overnight* (For a quick soak, bring the beans and water to a boil over high heat and cook for 2 minutes at the boil, then remove from the heat and allow to stand for 1 hour. Drain.) Prep time does not include soaking the beans. -- posted by LifeIsGood

Piri Piri Sauce (Portugal, Algarve) Homemade

Fri, 08 May 2009 12:44:59 -0400

Recipezaar already has 11 recipes for piri piri (sauce, dressing, oil, spice) and 10 recipes using it, so why add another? First, piri piri is in the cuisines of Africa, Portugal, South America and the Caribbean, so there are variations to the ingredients, heat and form. Second, all of the versions currently posted are "quick", i.e., whether the ingredients are raw or cooked, you can prepare them and use them the same day -- this version is the more authentic marinated and pickled version (Warning: from the time you start to make this until the time you can use it is 5 weeks!! I didn't count this in the prep time). Finally, I've had this version, love the taste and know how reliable the recipe source is. With credit to Elisabeth Luard's "The Food of Spain and Portugal: A Regional Celebration", here is piri piri as made in the Algarve ...

Meat Pies With Spicy Portuguese Sauce

Fri, 08 May 2009 14:05:10 -0400

This traditional Portuguese recipe is courtesy of Emeril Lagasse. The sauce complements the meat pies very well, but could also be used on pasta or even as a pizza topping. It's a long recipe but really not that difficult. Read through the entire recipe first. Emeril wrote this to use as an appetizer, so there are 36 small meat pies. I suppose you could try to make the pies larger if you wanted to serve it as a main course. Enjoy! -- posted by LifeIsGood

Portuguese Sofrito Bread (A B M)

Sat, 09 May 2009 00:08:48 -0400

Based on a recipe from Madge Rosenbergs delightful cookbook, The Best Bread Machine Cookbook Ever Ethnic Breads. She says, In Portugal, slowly sautéed onions are called sofrito, a deeply flavored beginning, or base, for dishes with rice or potatoes and for stews. The Italian soffritto adds herbs and celery; the Columbian adds annatto seeds. With roasted meat or chicken from any country, pass this Portuguese sofrito bread, or make an open-faced grilled cheese sandwich to remember. The default measurements are for a small 1 pound loaf; I have placed measurements for a large 1 ½ pound loaf in parentheses. I listed 4 hours as the bake time; your bread machine may have a quicker basic bread cycle. NOTE: be sure to use cooked rice! I havent tried this yet. -- posted by mersaydees

Bibb Salad With Basil Green Goddess Dressing

Tue, 16 Jun 2009 01:37:37 -0400

Green goddess dressing was invented in the 1920's at San Francisco's Palace Hotel as a tribute to William Archer's hit play, The Green Goddess. It gets it's bright green color from lots of fresh green herbs. This dressing was originally made with tarragon, but has been updated with basil, which actually has more flavor! Delicious on green salad, but also great served with vegetables like asparagus and broccoli. Adapted from the Barefoot Contessa at Home cookbook. -- posted by Sharon123

Provincetown Mussels

Wed, 19 Aug 2009 01:20:24 -0400

I was recently inspired on a trip to Cape Cod to incorporate the flavors of Portuguese Kale Soup into a steamed mussel dish. Kale soup was made a staple in P-town by Portuguese settlers. This recipe is simple and flavorful, and you'll want lots of crusty bread to soak up the sauce! Linguica is a mild Portuguese sausage that may be hard to find. Spanish chourico (which is different from Mexican chorizo) is a spicier substitute, but that can also be hard to find. Smoked sausage would be an easy alternative, but for the true Portuguese flavor, you need linguica - you can order it from www.gasparssausage.com. -- posted by Spice Boy

Portuguese/Spanish One Pot

Wed, 16 Sep 2009 13:51:03 -0400

This is something I kind of made up one day when I was craving a comforting food...it uses spanish rice, but also has linguica sausage in it, and tomatoes, which are popular in portuguese cooking. I prefer the spanish rice mix by Near East, as it has no MSG, whereas the Rice A Roni version does. -- posted by Chef #517222

Lamb Chops With Port, Mustard & Cream (Costeletas De Carneir

Mon, 28 Sep 2009 02:08:17 -0400

DH and I made this lamb chop recipe last night and thought it could not be quicker and easier. It was also really tasty. We thought it would be really good for a weeknight meal since the prep is so minimal. The recipe is from my Williams-Sonoma "Savoring Spain and Portugal" cookbook. We easily halved the recipe to suit 6 lamb chops. The cookbook states to serve the lamb chops with fried potatoes and sauteed carrots with mint. We served with steamed broccoli. -- posted by Dr. Jenny

These delicious Portuguese-American muffins are served at the Cafe Sintra, a Portuguese restaurant in Oregon. The owner of the cafe named then Bom Dia, "good morning" in portuguese, because his customers love to order them with their morning coffee. This recipe was published in the Los Angeles Times, reader request column, on October 1, 2003. -- posted by lynnski / LA
