  • Portuguese Bread & Garlic Soup with Cilantro (Açorda à Alentejana)

    The recipe for this hearty, garlicky bread soup comes from Rosa Filipe of O Barro restaurant in Redondo, Portugal. According to Filipe, the soup is often nicknamed “beggar’s soup” because it contains no meat or fish.

  • Grilled Sardines with Green Peppers

  • Tomato Rice

    This dish can be made wet and soupy if serving with fish, or firmer and more creamy like risotto if serving with chicken.

  • Azorean Kale and Bean Soup (Sopa de Couve)

    If the mainland's caldo verde is an uptown kale soup, then this Azorean version is definitely its downtown cousin. It's a more rugged dish. This is my mom's recipe, which she's been making for almost 50 years. What I like about it, and what my mother always insists on, is that it has a sizable amount of chouriço -- not the miserly single slice of caldo verde.
