Products used
Hake
It is abundant all along the Portuguese coast.
Some people call it the Portuguese Cod as, in our waters, it is the species with the most similarity to cod. Unlike the latter, however, the hake is sold on the same day it is fished and is consumed fresh and not salted. It is abundant all along the Portuguese coast. It lends itself to almost any recipe; boiled, oven-baked, or cut in fillets, it is yummy!
Regions
Alentejo and Ribatejo
Miguel Torga once wrote that “more than enjoying the emotion of an enjoyable trip, whoever visits the Alentejo has to meditate”. Let’s meditate then, as we’re back to the ever charming Alentejo. Land of sea and mountains, its virtue lies in the middle, in the plains, where our product of the week comes from.
