IN LOVE WITH LISBON

Rabanadas  A Portuguese version of French Toast - sweet and tasty

Bacalhãu de Consoada  Christmas Eve Cod

Bolo Rei  King Cake - traditionally served on Epiphany on January 6th but    popular throughout the Christmas season

Massa de Filhos  A Christmas doughnut traditionally left to rise whilst the family attend Midnight mass

Leite Creme  A creamy Christmas dessert

Sopa Dourada  Golden Soup - which is actually a dessert not a soup.

Mexidos   Another dessert from the North of Portugal. This looks very simple to make!

Arroz Doce  Sweet rice pudding - yes, a favourite at Christmas time too.

Conserva de Cenoura Savoury Portuguese Carrots - a lovely side dish

Perú Recheado com Nozes  Turkey stuffed with walnuts

The Art of Drink has a delicious looking entry on their blog which I’ve just discovered - The Feliz Natal cocktail!  “Feliz Natal” is of course “Merry Christmas” in Portuguese and this cocktail is a wonderful mix of Portugal and Christmas all in one.  This is definately one I’m going to try. Saúde!
