Portuguese Recipes, Food and Wine – A recap

Bom Ano Novo (happy new year) to all!

This blog has now been operational for about a year. I have found that the older posts seem to get buried and hard to find, so I thought a recap of some of 2010s most popular posts would be a good way to start the year! Here are a few recipe, restaurant and wine highlights from the first year of Food and Wine Portugal. Enjoy!

Recipes

Prawn Acorda – The classic Portuguese recipe for a bread based prawn stew.

Caldo Verde – Portuguese recipe for cabbage soup – way better than it might sound and perfect for these chilly evenings.

Portuguese Carrots – A Portuguese starter / couvert dish, frequently served in local restaurants.

Wines

Monte Velho Tinto – A well known and much loved Portuguese wine.

Monsaraz Rose – Our favourite pink Portuguese wine for summer, a shame it can be so hard to find!

Fonte de Nico Branco – A tasty Portuguese white wine, at a bargain price.

Portugal Restaurants

Dona Barca Portimao – One of our favourites for fish and shellfish in the western Algarve.

Botequim de Mouaria Evora – An incredible discovery in the beautiful Alentejo.
