13: How we escape the heat on our Quinta in Central Portugal

In today's video we go visit another river beach to escape the heat on our Quinta. We make some Milho Frito to take with, and we also get started on our veranda/patio build. Recipe for milho frito 1 small onion, sliced 1 carrot, diced or grated 2 cups shredded cabbage 2 cloves garlic, chopped 1 sprig thyme 1 TBSP pork lard 1 ½ litres water 500g corn meal/maize meal Olive oil In a large pot or pan, bring to heat and add some extra virgin olive oil and pork lard. Once pork lard is melted, add the garlic,thyme, onions and carrot, and saute for a few minutes, until just starting to soften. Add the cabbage and cook for a further few minutes, until starting to soften slightly. Add the water. When water has just started to warm slightly, not too warm, add the corn meal and stir through. On a medium heat, cook the mixture until it becomes thick and creamy, stirring regularly to avoid burning. Once thick and creamy, remove from heat, and place mixture into a large tray, about 2-2½ cm deep, and flatten. Allow to cool overnight. The next day, cut into slices of desired shape and thickness, and fry in a little oil until crispy. In hindsight, we could have seasoned the dish a little, or used stock instead of water for a little more of a savoury flavour, but it was still very good 😁. We thank you for watching and wish you all a lovely weekend. Until next time, Byeee
