Portuguese Kale Soup Recipe

Ingredients:
7 large white potatoes- peeled and diced
2 cans red kidney beans
1-1/2 to 2 lbs linquica ( cut in small pieces)
1/2 pound chouricia (cut in small pieces)
2 onions-chopped

2 bunches of kale (fresh is best)
1 can diced tomatoes
Salt to Taste
Pepper to Taste

Chopped Garlic (optional)

Sauté onions, garlic, linquica and chouricia together in a large pot.  Add enough water to fill the pot 1/2 full.  Put in potatoes and kale. Cook till potatoes are soft. Add Tomatoes and seasonings.  Add kidney beans and more water till pot is nearly full.. Simmer for approximately 20 minutes more.  Taste, and add more salt if needed .  Serve the Kale Soup with portuguese bread and butter..A meal in itself. This is my favorite soup.  Hard to find in a restaurant, unless you are dining in a Portuguese establishment! Eat this soup and you will stay healthy in the winter!  

Kale Soup is best made in a stainless steel pot. Use a wooden spoon to stir.  Somehow, it makes a difference!   Do not use aluminum cook ware.  Kale is best fresh, but you can use frozen.  Kale melts down like spinach, so don't be afraid to use more than called for.    You can prepare this a day ahead.    This soup  is best when reheated.  This is a great Portuguese Kale Soup! The above makes enough Portuguese kale soup to serve 8.

Cuisines of Portuguese Encounters

Cuisines of Portuguese Encounters is one of the first cookbooks to encompass the entire Portuguese-speaking world! Enriched by over 70 new recipes, the expanded edition is a fascinating collection of 279 authentic recipes that illustrate how Portugal and its former colonies influenced each other's culinary traditions.

In the sixteenth century, Portuguese navigators circled the globe, conquering new lands to build one of history's largest empires, and at the same time carrying and introducing crops, food products, and a variety of culinary cultures to all corners of the earth. Fueled by the curiosity of a cultural anthropologist and world traveler, this fascinating collection of 279 recipes is the first cookbook to encompass the entire Portuguese-speaking world and explain how Portugal and its former colonies influenced each other's cooking traditions. The author also explores the impact of the Moors and Sephardic Jews, who added unique contributions to the culinary history of the Portuguese empire.

This appetizing volume is rearranged geographically, containing staples from Portugal, Angola, Brazil, Cape Verde, East Timor, Goa, Guinea-Bissau, Macao, Malacca, and more. Each chapter is a mini-cookbook of a particular country or region, complete with introduction to the cuisine, culinary history, and recipes.

From famous dishes like spicy pork vindaloo from Goa, the classic bacalhau of Portugal, and all varieties of feijoada, to lesser-known treats like Guinean oyster stew and coconut pudding from East Timor, this cookbook has something for every adventurous gastronome. The 8-page section of color photographs brings the recipes to life!

Menus for religious holidays and festive occasions, a glossary of terms, a section on mail-order resources, and a bilingual index will assist the home chef in celebrating the rich, diverse, and delicious culinary legacy of this old empire.

How to Dress a Naked Salad (Family Features)
No salad deserves to be naked. With all the healthy convenience items available in supermarkets, it's easy to liven up a lonely bowl of lettuce. Here are some ideas from Mrs. Cubbison's Test Kitchens: Baja Fish Taco Style Salad - Place baby salad greens in a bowl and spoon bottled black bean salsa over the top. Sprinkle grilled fish fillet pieces over the salsa and top with shredded cheddar cheese, a dollop of sour cream and Seasoned Restaurant Style Croutons. Pepperoni Pizza Salad - Arrange a bag of mixed salad greens in a large salad bowl. Top with thinly sliced red onion, tomato wedges, sliced pepperoni, and shredded Italian blend cheese. Add sliced, fresh mushrooms if desired. Pour a 1/2 cup of bottled Italian dressing over all ingredients and serve with Cheese & Garlic Restaurant Style Croutons. Steak and Potato Salad - Start with leftover grilled steak and oven roasted red potatoes. Cut the steak and potatoes into bite sized chunks. Toss meat and potatoes with sour cream, chives and cracked black pepper in a bowl; cover and chill. Serve over fresh salad greens and top with Garlic & Butter French Bread Croutons.
