Baku Kitchen! An independent reference of traditional food

Portugal

Portugal’s food is built around atlantic salt cod, grilled sardines, hearty stews and custard pastries, seasoned with olive oil, garlic and saudade. Look for Bacalhau à Brás (shredded salt cod scrambled with eggs, onions, matchstick potatoes), Pastel de nata (caramelized custard tart with cinnamon, best warm from Belém) and Caldo verde (collard-and-potato soup with chouriço slices). Named for a tavern keeper called Brás in Lisbon’s Bairro Alto, where the dish is said to have been created in the nineteenth century.
