Caldo verde

Nothing is more satisfying than a steaming bowl of soup on a chilly day. Caldo verde, literally translated as "green soup," is a traditional Portuguese dish with roots in the rural regions. This flavorful soup combines simple ingredients—potatoes, cabbage (especially Galician cabbage), chorizo, and olive oil—to create something magical.

Sardinhas assadas

When you think of the summery aroma of barbecues, sardinhas assadas spring to mind. These grilled sardines are a beloved part of Portuguese summer festivals and symbolize conviviality and tradition. You can find them almost everywhere along the coast, especially during the feast days of St. Anthony and St. John.

Arroz de pato

Craving something filling and flavorful? Arroz de pato, or "duck rice," is a dish you won't want to miss. This delicious rice dish combines the deep, rich flavors of slow-cooked duck with rice and aromatic herbs. Often baked in the oven, the flavors fuse and the topping develops a crispy texture.
