The outside of a loaf of this Portuguese cornbread (Broa) is dark and crusty. The inside, however, is chewy and moist, but not the least bit airy.
Happy Easter! We hope you all had a wonderful Easter. This Easter I was excited (and nervous) to make for my very first time a popular Portuguese dish here …. vinha d’alhos. I’ve …
Roquefort, Manchego, Stilton—these are household names for American cheese lovers. And if I get my way, Zimbro, Serpa, and other Portuguese cheeses will soon be as well.
A few days ago I received a comment from a Reader "Soxy Girl said... We used to get these at Bickford's in New England with apples baked into them (with a little cinnamon and brown sugar). I may have to make this for breakfast on Sunday morning. :D" The post she commented on was for the "German Pancake" I had made for a certain someone's birthday breakfast... She was absolutely right! I know the pancake she spoke of. The pancake in that recipe is modeled after the "Bickfords" Baby or Big Apple that we loved and enjoyed from my New England upbringing. As I hadn't had it in years and never really knew how to make it, I looked up several recipes and came up with one I thought was as close as I could come. The one I made in that post was sans Apples and Cinnamon because I needed something light and the recipient had a pension for Pineapple!!! To bring back old memories, I made it again and made it in Apple and Cinnamon form just for "Soxy Girl" a fellow New Englander, who is now in Atlanta Georgia! Baked Apple Pancake Ingredients: Topping 3-4 medium Apples, peeled, cored and sliced 1 cup Brown sugar 3/4 stick Butter (room temp) 3 Tbsp Cinnamon Pancake batter 4 eggs 2 tbsp Butter (melted) 2/3 cup Flour (sifted) 2/3 cup Milk 1 tsp Vanilla 1/2 tsp salt 2 tbsp Sugar Instructions: Preheat Oven to 400° In a Cast Iron Skillet, Melt 3/4 stick of butter. Remove from heat Arrange apple slices at bottom. Top with Brown Sugar and Cinnamon. Prepare Batter: Beat Eggs, Milk and Sugar and Vanilla until light and fluffy. Add Flour and Salt. Combine. Add the 2 tbsp melted butter. Mix well. Pour batter over apples. Bake in 400° oven for 40 minutes or until pancake is light, puffy and golden brown. Remove from oven and invert onto serving platter. Enjoy!
Recipe by Paula. My love affair with Port wine started when I was a teenager and was allowed to take my first sip at a family get together. It was love at first taste. Port Wine is a fortified wine produced exclusively in the Douro Valley region in the northern provinces of Portugal. These days I look for ways to use it in my cooking and especially in my baking. This recipe is a perfect way to highlight this special wine. Now, Port is not an inexpensive wine so this dessert is decadent but it is also simple to prepare. It's a show stopper dessert and one that will impress any dinner guest. Enjoy! Serves 4 Ingredients: 3 cups port wine 1 cup water 3/4 cup honey 1/4 cup sugar 1 inch piece of ginger, chopped coarsely 1 cinnamon stick, snapped in half 1 vanilla bean 4 pears, peeled and cored 1 sheet of puff pastry, thawed if frozen Sanding sugar 1 egg, beaten with 1 tablespoon of water Directions: 1. Combine the port wine, water, honey, sugar, ginger and cinnamon stick in a saucepan big enough to just fit the pears. 2. Cut the vanilla bean in half lengthwise, then run the knife down both halves to scrape out the brown seeds. Add the bean and seeds to the saucepan. Heat saucepan over medium high until the sugar dissolves. Reduce heat to medium. 3. Lay the pears in the poaching liquid on their sides. Poach the pears for about 20 minutes until they are folk tender. Turn the pears occasionally to allow them to poach evenly. Remove the pears from the poaching liquid and allow them to cool. 4. Increase the heat to high to start reducing the poaching liquid. Reduce the liquid until it has a syrupy consistency, strain to remove the cinnamon sticks, ginger and vanilla pod. Allow the syrup to cool to room temperature. 5. Preheat the oven to 400 F. Cut 3/4 of the puff pastry into 8 long strips using a sharp knife. Cut the remaining puff pastry into 8 leaf shapes and score the tops to resemble veins. 6. Wrap 2 puff pastry strips around the outside of each pear, starting from the bottom. Overlap the strips to make sure the pears are completely cover. Wet the back of 2 leaves for each pear with water and attach to the top of each pear. 7. Brush each pear with the egg wash and sprinkle the pears with sanding sugar. The egg wash will help the sanding sugar stick to the puff pastry. 8. Carefully place the pears on a baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes until the puff pastry is golden brown. 9. Serve each pear on a thin bed of port syrup and a scoop of ice cream.
My boyfriend is a huge fan of red meat, particularly a good steak. He loves a thick, grilled filet mignon, so he was skeptical the first time he saw my grandmother cooking thin steaks in a frying pan, but he was pleasantly surprised. The thin steaks are tender and served up with a delicous pan gravy, or molho. The gravy has the flavors of wine, paprika, and some spice - it's different than the way steaks are typically served in an American steakhouse but it's a welcome change and has become a
