Rojoes Minhota - Try To Say It If You Are Not Portuguese
From nazzb 15 years ago
- 60 minutes to make
- Serves 8
This dish was served in years gone by, in winter, when the farmers slaughtered their pigs. The meat had to be fresh, and the only way to preserve it was in salt. Nowadays, fresh pork is widely available, so it can be made al year round. Read more It is traditional from the region where I live, and in fact, people travel great distances to come and enjoy it in Ponte de lima, where it is particularly famous. Usually served with Arroz de Sarrabulho (a rice dish made amongst other things, with the pig's blood), I prefer to give it a miss and serve it with sautéed or roast potatoes. See less
