Dear fellow food-lover,

What comes to mind when you think of Portugal? Art? Cork? History? Or food? If you’re like us at Oldways, we think of food, and Portugal has some exciting food that we are happy to spotlight as among the Best of Portugal.

Happy cooking from the team at Oldways!
Best of Portugal
From soups and sardines to sweets and wines! Portugal has some delicious classics. Join us on a virtual feast through Portugal that will inspire you to experience the real thing with us during our trip to Lisbon and Porto in April 2022!
There are many versions, some made with chorizo and the others vegetarian. There are also a few versions that have chickpeas added at the end, so feel free to add 2 cups if desired. Dried and fresh Piri Piri chili peppers are popular in Portugal, but a fresh jalapeno makes a great substitute.

One of the most striking differences between Mediterranean seafood dishes and American seafood dishes is the Mediterranean’s creative use of little fish, like sardines. Fish that are lower on the foodchain, like sardines, are also a more sustainable choice than larger fish.
