Portuguese Rice Portuguese Rice
Every summer, my parents would take all of us up to Cape Cod for a few weeks. I love the food up there. Between all of the different fresh fish and the great Portuguese dishes, I am in heaven. One of my favorite places to eat is John's Foot Long in Provincetown.I am allergic to shellfish so I have never had it, but I heard that their lobster roll is one of the best. Judging by all of their other dishes, I would not doubt that. My favorite dish of theirs is their Portuguese Rice. I have been trying to find a similar recipe to theirs, but it is impossible. Along the way, I have combined a few recipes that I have found and came up with one that I like a lot.It is nothing similar to John's in taste, but it is still very, very good. Definitely worth the try. #mycookbookEnjoy! J.A.B. -
Portuguese steaks in the sauce Portuguese steaks in the sauce
Ah, Portuguese cuisine, is a perfect marriage of rich flavors and intense tastes. Steaks in Portuguese sauce are an excellent example - a delicious combination of tender meat, aromatic sauce, and subtle notes of port wine.The recipe begins by pounding the steaks, then letting the meat is seared quickly in a hot pan, before being removed and set aside to rest with salt.The sauce is then prepared by adding garlic, bay leaves, paprika, and pepper to the same pan. Once the garlic is golden brown, the spirits are added to deglaze, then the sauce is reduced until it is thick and flavorful.Finally, the steaks are returned to the pan with the sauce and reheated together to soak up the sauce's flavor. Served with a slice of dry-cured ham, this dish can be accompanied by rice, french fries, or even homemade chips for a tasty and satisfying meal.So if you're looking for a recipe that combines tender meat, rich flavors, and subtle notes of port wine, Portuguese steaks in the sauce are for you. Follow the steps below for a delicious and easy-to-prepare meal. Bifana -
Portuguese Chickpea Salad Portuguese Chickpea Salad
This is one of the traditional Portuguese home cooked dishes. The recipe normally calls for black-eyed peas; but since they are hard to get, I made it with chickpeas (garbanzo beans).This is an easy recipe; all you need to do is to mix the ingredients. The combination of the boiled egg and the chickpeas is addictive. Chill well before serving! Recipe by Bakaryau cookpad.japan -

Filipino Adobo Chicken Filipino Adobo Chicken
Savory and darkly colored from the reduction of soy sauce. I've added a few non traditional ingredients like xiaoxing, red pepper, onions, and some gelatin to give the reduction body, but I assure you the additions are worth it. I like to use whole peppercorns and smash them, but if you just have ground black pepper use about 1 tsp instead of 1 Tbsp of whole. Lance Wilson -
