Portuguese peas & eggs
Family recipe:
Chopped onions
Minced garlic
Chopped up tomatoes or you can use a can of diced tomatoes
Sauté those 3 ingredients in olive oil
cooking wine & water I did half of each
seasoning : I eyeball and basically check the taste and add as needed.. Bouillon , crushed pepper ( add as much or as little as you like for spice ) , onion powder & very little salt
From there you thrown in your peas
And chouriço let that cook for a bit
Very last step is you crack the eggs apart from one and other in the pot
I like pasta on the side but this is optional traditionally you would just eat the eggs peas and chouriço alone with some bread
If you're looking for a new dinner idea, this Portuguese dish is a delightful family recipe that combines fresh ingredients and rich flavors. The key components include sweet peas, savory chouriço sausage, and eggs, making it a hearty meal ideal for any night of the week. Start by sautéing chopped onions, minced garlic, and tomatoes in olive oil, enhancing the dish with white cooking wine and a splash of water. Season this base to taste with bouillon, crushed red pepper, onion powder, and a pinch of salt, before adding in the peas and chouriço. Let it simmer until they’re both tender and flavorful. Finally, crack the eggs directly into the mixture, allowing them to poach gently. While some might enjoy the dish on its own, serving it with a side of pasta or crusty bread can elevate the meal even further. Whether for a family gathering or a cozy dinner, this recipe is a wonderful way to showcase traditional Portuguese flavors. Happy cooking!
