gather round me buckaroo's,i have a tale for thee,ah haaa!well it does have a kind of seafaring theme to it.reading & replying to a thread about tracking down a portuguese earthenware pot,reminded me of when i had a holiday home in carvoeiro,on the algarve.it reminded me of many sundrenched holidays in portugal.how lovely,welcoming & friendly portuguese people are & how damn good portuguese food is.mariners/explorers without compare they opened up the spice routes,gave us chillies,cristiano ronaldo & invented the pressure cooker!!no,listen,they invented the cataplana centuries before prestige et al got in on the act.sooooo,armed with nothing more than a steely nerve,me trusty torch & a gin & tonic i ventured up into the dark & dangerous depths of me attic to retrieve my,yes you've guessed,cataplana!!
you've been very patient,both of you,so tonight folks it's my homage to portugal... belly pork,prawn & clam cataplana with cherry bomb peppers,cyprus new potatoes & steamed asparagus.ice cold mateus shiraz rosé that took me right back to the harbour side bars of carvoeiro.thank you!!
