Bifanas are traditional Portuguese sandwiches made with thin slices of pork that are marinated and simmered in a sauce of white wine, garlic, hot pepper paste, lemon juice and other seasonings. They are served on papo secos (Portuguese buns), topped with sautéed onions and sweet peppers. You will find bifana sandwiches all over Portugal and similar to any famous recipe, everyone has their own variation. My recipe has been handed down to me from my mom. It couldn’t be any tastier or easier to make and I hope you enjoy it.
Do you know baking bread at home is like a child play if the yeast god behave well with you. I love baking bread myself at home, obviously bread is one of our staple food after rice. Though i do bake variety of breads, am yet to try Sourdough breads. However baking bread by ourself will definitely makes everyone at home happy. Needless to say that baking is quite a stress burster, my today's post is Broa aka Portuguese corn bread, this bread is traditionally made in Portugal and in Brazil (where it is traditionally seasoned with fennel). Not like the Usual cornbread, this broa is made with a mixture of cornmeal and wheat or rye flour which is leavened with yeast. The name Broa comes from Gothic word Brauth, that means bread. Broa is a dense bread with a fine crumb. Obviously this bread is excellent as a dipping bread to serve along with soups and stews. Traditionally this bread is served along with a Potato,spinach/kale soup called Caldo de verde,however you can serve this soup with any hearty and healthy soups. Today's bread asks for cooking cornmeal in boiling water and letting it cool before adding to the other ingredients to knead as a dough. And this bread goes to this month's We Knead to Bake, a baking event by Aparna. Recipe Source: King Arthur Flour 2+1/2cups All purpose flour 1 cup Yellow cornmeal 3/4 cup Hot water 1/2 cup Warm Milk 2tsps Instant yeast 1tsp Salt 2tbsp Honey 1tbsp Olive oil Mix together the cornmeal and hot water in a small bowl. Stir in the warm milk, and let the mixture cool to lukewarm. Then add the flour,yeast,salt,honey and olive oil,mix everything well and knead them together to form a smooth, slightly sticky dough. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover the dough with a paper towel and let it rise for 2 hours. Turn the dough out to a lightly greased or floured surface, knead it lightly and form it into a ball. Place it over a baking sheet lined over a baking tray. Cover it and let it rise for 45 minutes. Preheat the oven to 450°F,spritz it lightly with water and make few slashes on the top crust. Dust the top with flour. Arrange the loaf in the oven and bake it for 10 minutes, then turn the oven down to 400°F, bake for another 15 minutes or until the top turns golden brown. Let it cool completely, slice as per need and enjoy.

My boyfriend is a huge fan of red meat, particularly a good steak.

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

When I was a child, growing up with my Portuguese immigrant parents, my mother used to make something called papas for us (herself, my Dad, and I). I believe the closest possible translation of papas to English is porridge. Although I am giving it the name porridge, please don't confuse papas for a breakfast food. No, it was more an indulgence that could be eaten any time of the day. It was almost dessert-like...eaten hot with a sprinkling of ground cinnamon on top; the ultimate comfort food for me. I remember asking my mom to make papas from time to time. She didn't always make it. After all, it was a special treat and that is part of what made it so good - the knowing that you couldn't eat it all the time. Papas were usually reserved for special occasions or lazy Sundays when my mom had more time to make it. As I grew older, my mom didn't make papas as often. I didn't request it as much. Other foods and rituals replaced the porridge. Many years passed. Then one day, after I was married and had my own daughter, I remembered the papas again with fondness. I immediately called my mom at work. I told her I wanted to make papas myself, for the first time. I needed her recipe...please! Well, if you are Portuguese or happen to know a Portuguese mom, you will probably already know that Portuguese moms don't usually follow recipes, measurements or directions. If you ask for a recipe, you are more likely to hear, "Oh, just add a bit of this and a smidgen of that. That should do it!". So my mom gave me a list of all the ingredients and tried to guide me somewhat with the measurements. I had to play around with it myself until it was perfected. More years passed. The memory of those childhood papas came to me again this week. I haven't made papas in what seems like forever. I looked for the small, pink piece of paper I had written the ingredients on years ago, in my recipe box. I found it, but only the ingredients...no measurements. It took me three tries before it turned out perfectly. Only three tries before it tasted exactly like the papas my mom used to make for us, when we lived in our apartment flat on Rosemount Street. Portuguese Porridge / Papas (serves 2) Ingredients 1 cup milk 2 tbsp sugar 2 tbsp flour pinch of salt ground cinnamon Directions In a small pot, add milk. Whisk in sugar, flour, and salt. Combine very well until smooth. Place the pot over medium heat and keep whisking until mixture begins to boil. This will take several minutes. As it starts to boil, continue whisking for about one minute and then remove from heat. Mixture will continue to thicken. Pour the papas into two dessert plates. Sprinkle ground cinnamon over top. Serve immediately. *Papas are traditionally served on a dessert plate, not in a bowl (at least that's how my mom used to do it) *Papas taste best when served hot Did you eat papas or a special homemade porridge while you were growing up? I would love to hear about it!
