Caldo Verde

Hi there,

Something as typical as it gets here in POrtugal CALDO VERDE!!

There is no popular party that can happen without this, a potatoe soup with some really thin slced cabagge, i added some bacon, but it should be "chouriço"

Hmmmmm

Cuttle fish

It sure doesn't look good.

Nevertheless it tastes great.

I cooked it with the ink (which for me is what delivers the taste) so it is strange because the meat of tis fish is white and the consistency very interesting.

Well it was delicious and the first time i cooked.

I show a picture of the fish taken from the shellfish association in england so that you can see what the actual fish looks like

Octopus

One of my favourite dishes is Octopus that we get it pretty much everywhere in Portugal and cooked in all sorts of way.

So I decided to cook my own "Polvo á Lagareiro"

easy, garlic, olive oil, octopus, potatoes, salt and "coentros"

Looks nice and tastes, nice, anyone disagrees?

Delicious

5 mins salad

Not the healthiest of salads...

bacon, chips and some supermarket salad.

took 5 mins to cook the bacon and done, with a nice glass of white wine to go with

hmmm delicious

trout

really nice, 2 small trouts in the overn with some veggies, potatoes and cheese.

Yummie,

duck

I am browsing through my files to see what food pics i have.

This is duck "maigret" just simple seasoning, put in the overn and add some broculy.

good :)

wok experiment

and again experimenting.

Lamb (Basicly bones qith some meat and the kidney), clams, mushrooms and tagliatelle (pasta).

Quite good, i am eating it nw :)

experimenting (again)

Cool, salad (three different vegetables), smoked salmon, mixed mushrooms with green and red pepped an some "chouriço", mixed eggs with shrimps and salmon, et voila....

a nice cobination for dinner, quick, easy and nice.

The white wine was matching it just perfectly.

The most difficult one

Incredible as it may seem, the most difficult meal for me to cook, properly, is....

RICE.

Today it came of almost right... almost

but looks though, done in 5 mins.
