Vingadosh is a really good breakfast meal. My grandparents make it alot especially around the holidays and the whole family loves it. As well as Linguica.

Vingadosh is padagee pot roast consisting of baklava, potatoes, eggs, fried rice, sweet bread, almond float, usually served around Christmas time for breakfast or lunch.

Linguica recipes can be found here http://www.gasparssausage.com/linrec.html

there are many different linguica recipes like linguica and eggs, linguica and potato soup, linguica breakfast burrito

These are two of my favorite Portuguese meals, and I hope you will like them as much as my family and I do!

The thing about portuguese gastronomy is that you tens of thousands of recipes to chose from (I mean literally, as for instance there's more than a thousand recipes where the main ingredient is cod, for example). My favourite ones:

Fish

Tomato Rice with Fried Horse Mackerel

For every cup of rice, 2 of the same cups of water

1 tomato

1/2 small onion

1 pepper

5 soup spoons of olive oil

5 small Horse Mackerels per person

Salt

Decide first how many rice cups you're going to cook. Chop the tomato in halves and the pepper in tiny square bits and mince the onion and boil both in two times the amount of rice you've decided to cook, seeds included, along with 1 olive oil spoon. While boiling, add some rock salt and stir. Afterwards, smash the tomato in the water and KEEP THE WATER , this water will be used to cook the rice in. Now you add the rice to the water and let it cook in low heat. Leave it cooking and fry the Horse Mackerels in a fridge using 4 spoons of olive oil. When the fish's skin is crispy, it's done.

Serve with portuguese corn bread ('broa').

Dessert

Portuguese rice pudding

250g white rice

250g white sugar

6dl water

1tbsp butter

1,25l milk

5 egg yolks

1 cinnamon stick

1 large strip of lemon zest

Powdered cinnamon

Pour water in a pan. Add zest, a cinnamon stick and some butter. When the water starts boiling, add rice and let it cook over a low heat until the water has almost evaporated.

Add milk to the rice (2dl each time) and let it cook, still in low heat. When you add the last cup of milk, add sugar. Let everything cook until you obtain a creamy mixture.

Remove the pan from the heat and wait until it cools off a bit.

Lightly beat the egg yolks with some milk and add them to the rice. Place the pan back on the (low) heat and gently stir the rice until all the yolks are cooked. Again, and at last, remove the pan from the heat.

As for meat, my fave ones are Portuguese Stew (pork, chicken and cow meat along with 3 diferent sausages called 'chouriço', 'farinheira' and morcela', served with boiled potatoes, rice, green cabbage, turnips and carrots) and Favas (fava or broad beans served with pork ribs, bacon and the same 3 sausages in the portuguese stew recipe). You have so many you'd choke. Bom apetite. :)
