These 14 authentic Portuguese recipes are the classic ones we return to again and again. The only tricky part is figuring out which one to make first. Bom apetite!
This caldo verde was such a delicious soup! Hearty and satisfying–especially during our cold Chicago winter. I added half the chorizo back in before using an immersion blender to partially puree the soup, leaving some nice chunks of potato in there.
I agree with other reviewers that the flavor improves the next day. I also made Portuguese cornbread to go with the soup.–Sasha
This bifanas recipe is so easy and delicious! There’s nothing more satisfying than a good bifana. I can’t wait to try David’s papo secos recipe!–Linda V.
This Portuguese pork and clams dish was one of my grandmother’s specialties. She never shared her recipe, but her pork was always so tender. For years I have tried to recreate it, and this is by far the closest I have ever come. Thank you! What a treat!–Bethany
I have made the pasteis de nata recipe AT LEAST 10 times. All my family and friends LOVE them. I like to add extra cinnamon sugar, and I usually have extra dough left over. Love this recipe so much. THANK YOU!–Tui
Orange cake is my husband’s all-time favorite cake…and I’ve made plenty of orange cakes. This is by far the most AMAZING orange cake I have ever tasted! Delicious and moist crumb with such an aromatic flavor. I am forever grateful to you for sharing the recipe and will never need to try another orange cake recipe again.–Maribel
Do you have a cookbook? Availability?
Elaine, I do! It’s The New Portuguese Table. You can find it in most bookstores and on Amazon. Some of these recipes are from other others and aren’t in my book.
