Listen in...HORSES IN THE MORNING Episode 3848 – Show Notes & Links:Host: Meghan Brady of the Equestrian Travel AssociationPresenting Sponsor: Equestrian Travel Association | Facebook | InstagramGuest:  Ana Confraria and Naomi Oliver from Dom Cavalo in PortugalRecipe: COZIDO À PORTUGUESA (The most traditional Portuguese food) or PORTUGUESE STEW that needs no introduction. It name reveals everything: Portuguese meats, sausages, and vegetables cooked together.It's recognized as one of the oldest dishes in Portuguese cuisine, a typically home-cooked meal, and is easily found on the menus of traditional restaurants.In reality, it's not 100% Portuguese in origin, as there's a very similar recipe in Spain, "olla podrida" or "cocido," in France "Pot-au-feu," and in Italy "Bollito misto." The ingredients and flavors vary slightly, but the technique used is always the same: cooking food in water over low heat.What truly distinguishes Portuguese Stew from stews in the rest of Europe are the sausages. And these are essential in any version of Portuguese Stew.Each region has its own preferred meats and vegetables, but a proper Cozido (Portuguese stew) must include at least one meat sausage and one blood sausage, pig's ear, turnip, and Portuguese cabbage.INGREDIENTS:300 grams of beef for braising½ pig's trotter1 small pig's ear300 grams of streaky bacon300 grams of pork ribs1 meat chorizo1 black pudding1 blood chorizo1 farinheira sausage1 small Portuguese cabbage1 small Savoy cabbage2 medium turnips2 medium potatoes2 carrots1 measure of rice (350ml)1 measure of the broth in which the meats were cooked, 1 measure of water.PREPARATION:Start by cooking all the meats and sausages in the same pot with water, salt, and pepper. As they cook, set them aside.First the farinheira (a type of sausage) and blood sausage, then the morcela (blood sausage) and beef sausage. Next, the spare ribs and streaky bacon. Finally, the chiado (a type of sausage), pig's ear, and beef, which take the longest to cook.Then use the broth from the meats to prepare the remaining ingredients for the stew.Start by heating a drizzle of olive oil in a pan, fry 1 cup of rice – about 350ml – and add 1 measure of broth and another of water. Season with pepper and cook for 18-20 minutes. Adjust the salt if you think the broth is bland.In another pan, reserve broth to heat 2 small cans of white beans.Next, prepare the vegetables! Separate the leaves of a Portuguese cabbage, wash well, remove the stalk and central core, break into pieces and add to the potThen the Savoy cabbage: remove the toughest leaves, cut into quarters without the central stalk and add.Finally, potato, turnip and carrot. Peel, cut into pieces and add to the cabbages. Cover and cook until tender.Meanwhile, take the opportunity to cut the meats and sausages.When everything is cooked and the meats are reheated, it's time to plate. Vegetables at the base, legumes on the side, rice, meats and sausages.All served in a grand, Portuguese style!

Separate the egg yolks from the whites and beat the whites until stiff. Set aside. Add the 2 tablespoons of milk and the two types of flour (mixed and sifted) to the egg yolks. Mix everything well with a wooden spoon until you have a smooth mixture, without any lumps. The mixture should be completely smooth.Then add this mixture to the milk, which has now boiled. Mix well, return to a low heat and stir until thickened. This cooking process usually takes about 15 minutes.Turn off the heat and stir to cool slightly. Then add the egg whites and fold in with a wooden spoon. Mix well. (Only add the egg whites when the mixture is lukewarm, almost cold).Finally, spoon the mixture into a deep earthenware dish (do not smooth it out, just shake the dish) and sprinkle with plenty of cinnamon.Bake at 350°F and when it starts to rise, tap it a few times and bake for 35 minutes.Do the toothpick test: if the center is dry, it's ready. Let it cool and serve with Elvas plums, along with their syrup.
