WCC Day 22: Portugal

During our trip to Portugal, we were pleasantly delighted with the cuisine:  Mediterranean and Moorish influences blend together to create a cuisine that is easy to prepare, incorporates fresh ingredients, and can feed large amounts of people.  Portuguese cuisine is more than just chicken and piri piri sauce: it is salads, soups, stews, grilled poultry and meat, fresh seafood, creamy deserts, and the land of Port wine.

Some famous Portuguese dishes and food include:

Commonly used spices are: cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, chili powder, paprika, saffron, and red chillies.

For my recipe, here is another piri piri sauce recipe that was shared with my by a Portuguese friend.
