Portuguese Food



Where I left off in my last post, was the upcoming entree after a great bowl of Portuguese soup. There are so many different types of entrees Portuguese people. I'm going to talk about a few. One type of Portuguese food that is famous is bacalhau (cod fish). But the word almost always refers to salt cod and the dishes made from it, as fresh cod is rarely consumed in Portugal. There are so many ways to cook this wonderful fish. Bacalhau à Gomes de Sá is one way I find popular out there. It is essentially a casserole of cod, potatoes and onion. You made add more ingredients, desire to your taste.
It is a specialty from city of Porto, being now the popular dish throughout Portugal, and is thought to be one of Portugal's greatest bacalhau recipes. Served with some great wines such as Alentejo Wine, Dão Wine or Douro Wine. This is a great meal to enjoy.
