No final de Janeiro estive na Madeira, nunca lá tinha estado e gostei bastante, especialmente da gastronomia. Quando me perguntam "gostaste da Madeira" a minha resposta é, invariavelmente, "adorei a comida!" Não passeei muito, porque o tempo foi pouco, mas fiquei com vontade de voltar e comer no restaurante que tem estas piscinas naturais por trás e que me deixou com água na boca... Depois de um mergulho, um bom peixe na Doca do Cavaco (ou será da Cavaca?) é o fim ideal para um dia bem passado :)
In the end of January I went to Madeira, a place I've never been before, and I really liked it specially the food! When anyone asks "did you like Madeira" I always answer "I loved the food". I didn't do much sigthseeing because I was only there for a short time, but I really want to go back and eat again at the restaurant that has this natural swimming pool because the food was amazing! After a dive in the swimming pool, have a nice little fish at the restaurant which is called Doca do Cavaco (or is it Cavaca?)... it's the perfect ending for a really good day :)

Arroz de moelas e ausência - Gizzard's rice and my absense
Este início de ano tem sido atribulado, com mudanças no trabalho que estão a implicar um ritmo muito mais acelerado do que o anterior, o que me tem deixado muito pouco tempo para cozinhar e, por isso, para vir actualizar o meu blogue, mas esperemos que as coisas acalmem um pouco e possa voltar a ter tempo para me dedicar ao fogão :)
Já disse várias vezes que adoro moelas e, desta vez, apeteceu-me fazer um arrozinho de moelas. Pesquisei várias receitas e encontrei esta no blogue Tertúlia de Sabores, que foi a que me atraiu mais e não me arrependi, porque o arroz ficou bastante saboroso. Deixo a receita exactamente como está, uma vez que não fiz alterações, excepto não usar corações porque não os tinha.
The beggining of this year brought a lot of changes in my work place and the rhythm and amount of work as really grown, which has left me with little time to cook and, therefor, to update my blog. Let's hope things settle down so I can go back to my kitchen and cook some very nice dishes :)
I've said a few times now that I love gizzards and this time I decided to do a rice with them. I did some research on the internet and found this recipe in Tertúlia dos Sabores's blog. I decided to try it out and I didn't regret it because this makes for a very tasty gizzard's rice. I leave you the recipe just has it is, because I didn't make any changes to it excepto not using the chicken's earth because I didn't have them.
A receita...
Ingredientes:
350 g de moelas de galinha
1 colher de sopa de pinhões tostados (não usei)
2 cravinhos
1 folha de louro
Sal e pimenta q.b.
1 chávena de arroz
2 a 3 medidas do caldo de cozer as moelas
1 cebola picada
1 dente de alho picado
1 colher de sopa de salsa picada (não usei)

Caixa de casamento - Wedding memory box
Esta é a segunda parte da prenda de casamento que fiz para o meu amigo. É uma caixa para guardarem as lembranças de casamento. Os quadrados da tampa são bocados do papel utilizado nos convites. Espero que eles gostem... :)
This is the second part of the wedding gift I was making for my friend and it's a box for them to save their wedding memorabilia. The squares used on the top of the box are part of the paper they used on their wedding invitations. I sure hope they like it...

Bacalhau à Brás - Codfish Brás' style
Há muito tempo que não fazia Bacalhau à Brás e é um prato de que gosto imenso. Nas compras no outro dia aproveitei e comprei umas embalagens de bacalhau desfiado e como a receita que lá vinha até era esta, resolvi experimentar. Confesso que fiquei surpresa com o facto de não se cozer o bacalhau antes (o que eu costumava fazer) mas gostei muito do sabor final e é muito mais rápido de fazer, por isso vou passar a fazer desta forma. Com esta receita entro no passatempo "As Nossas Receitas", d'O Mundo da B.V., cujo tema deste mês é dedicado ao bacalhau.
It's been a very long time since I cook codfish this way and it's a dish that I really love. So, when I was shopping the other day I bought some codfish that had already been shredded and since most companies already sell their products with recipes, this one came with the codfish. I have to say that I was surprised with the fact that the recipe didn't call for boling the fish first (which I always did), but I really liked the flavour of the dish and it's a lot quicker to do this way. With this recipe I'm entering the challenge set by blog O Mundo da B.V. called "Our Recipes", which in January is dedicated to codfish.
A receita...
Ingredientes (para 4 pessoas):
400 gr de bacalhau desfiado
batata palha (usei um resto da batatas fritas caseiras)
6 ovos
2 cebolas grandes (usei 1 e 1/2)
4 dentes de alho
salsa
pimenta preta moída q.b.
1 dl de azeite
azeitonas pretas
Preparação:
Demolhar o bacalhau durante 24 a 30 horas e no frigorífico, tendo o cuidado de mudar a água. Picar finamente as cebolas e os dentes de alho e alourar no azeite. Juntar o bacalhau desfiado e mexer para incorporar no azeite. Juntar a batata palha e misturar bem. À parte bater os ovos e temperá-los com pimenta. Verter os ovos mexidos para o tacho, mexendo bem para envolver todos os ingredientes. Polvilhar com salsa picada e com as azeitonas. Bom apetite!
The recipe...
Ingredients (4 pax):
400 gr of shredded salted codfish
french fries
6 eggs
2 large onions (I only used 1 and 1/2)
4 cloves of garlic
parsley
black pepper
1 dl olive oil
black olives
Cooking:
Put the codfish in water for 24 to 30 hours, in the fridge, and remember to switch the water frequently in order to get rid of the excess salt. Finely chop the onions and the garlic and set it to brown in a pan with the olive oil. When the onion is translucide, put in the codfish and blend it well in the olive oil. Add the french fries and continuo to fold in. On the side, beat the eggs and season them with the black pepper. Incorporate the eggs into the onion, coldfish and fries mixture and fold in everything really well. Sparkle with some parsley and olives and serve. Enjoy!

Moldura de casamento - wedding photo frame
Esta semana tem sido complicada e por isso não tenho postado nada nem visitado os vossos blogues, mas espero conseguir fazê-lo em breve. Entretanto, deixo uma moldura que fiz como prenda de casamento para um amigo. Ficou muito simples e, pessoalmente, acho que muito bonita. Espero que eles gostem. A segunda parte da prenda mostro depois.
This week has been complicated e that's why I haven't posted anything or visited your blogs, but I hope to do it soon. In the meantime, I leave you with this photo frame that I did as a wedding gift for a friend. It's very simple and, personally, I think it's very beautiful. I really hope he and his wife like it. The second part of the wedding gift I made for them I'll show later on.

Filetes de pescada fritos com arroz de tomate - Fried whitefish fillets with tomato rice
Adoro filetes de pescada fritos panados com farinha mas, no outro dia, decidi experimentar fazê-los de uma forma diferente, sem passar por farinha e com um tempero também diferente. A sugestão foi do P. e gostei do resultado final, mas prefiro temperadinhos com muito limão e passados por farinha, ficam super saborosos! Acompanhei com arroz de tomate feito com um resto de molho de tomate caseiro (oferecido) que tinha para gastar.
I love fried whitefish fillets, coatted with flour but, the other day, I decided to try them in a different way, without the flour and seasonned differently as well. P. suggested this recipe and I did like the taste of it, but I have to admit I rather do them the old fashion way seasonned with lots of lemon juice and coatted with flour. I had the fillets with tomato rice made with some leftover homemade tomato sauce that my godmother gave to me.
A receita...
Ingredientes:
2 filetes de pescada
sal aromatizado com alho
azeite
pimenta branca moída
sumo de limão
manteiga
piri-piri
Preparação:
Tempere os filetes de pescada com o sal aromatizado com alho, a pimenta branca moída, um fio de azeite e o sumo de limão. Deixe marinar durante pelo menos 30 minutos. Aqueça um fio de azeite com uma noz de manteiga numa frigideira e frite os filetes. Acompanhei com o arroz de tomate e molho de manteiga, limão e piri-piri. Bom apetite!
The recipe...
Ingredients:
2 whitefish fillets
garlic flavoured salt
ground white pepper
olive oil
lemon juice
butter
dried chilli
Cooking:
Season the fillets with salt, pepper, olive oil and lemon juice and let marinate for a least 30 minutes. Eat a nonsticky frying pan with some olive oil and butter and fry the fillets. Serve with some tomato rice and a butter, lemon and dry chilli sauce. Enjoy!

Espetada de lulas e camarão com batatas cozidas e vegetais salteados - Squid and shrimp skeewers with boiled potatoes and sautée vegetables
Numa das minhas idas às compras resolvi trazer bastante peixe, porque estava quase sem nenhum no congelador, e encontrei estas espetadas congeladas que resolvi trazer. É um prato bom para se fazer quando se tem pressa ou não se tem muita vontade de estar na cozinha. Acompanhei com batatas cozidas e vegetais salteados. Os vegetais são todos congelados porque não sou fã de vegetais e só como de vez em quando, assim, em vez de comprar frescos e acabar por os deixar estragar, compro congelados e usos apenas quando preciso. É claro que posso comprar frescos e congelar, mas ainda não me dediquei a isso a fundo.
In one of my many shop rounds I decided to buy some fish, because I was running out of it in my freezer, and I found these squid and shrimp skeewers that I bought. It's a great dish to make when you're in a hurry or you're not in the mood for cooking. I served it with some boiled potatoes and sautée vegetables. The vegetables I used were all frozen because I'm not very fond of vegetables and i only eat them once in a while, so if I buy them fresh, they'll end up going to waist, that is why I prefer to buy them frozen so they are in handy whenever I want. Of course I can buy them fresh and them freeze them, but I haven't gotten aroun to do it just yet...
A receita...
Ingredientes (por pessoa):
1 espetada
2 batatas (usei mais para fazer outra refeição)
cenoura bebé q.b.
feijão verde q.b. (usei do redondo que é o que mais gosto)
3 couves-de-bruxelas
sal e pimenta branca moída
2 dentes de alho
azeite
1 colher de chá massa de pimentão
sumo de 1/2 limão
orégãos
Preparação:
Comece por temperar a espetada com um pouco de sal, pimenta branca, azeite e o sumo do limão e deixe a marinar durante pelo menos 30 minutos. Coloque as batatas a cozer em água com sal, um dente de alho e um colher de chá de massa de pimentão (isto dá um sabor fantástico às batatas). Quando as batatas estiverem quase cozidas, adicione os vegetais para que cozam. Entretanto, coloque a espetada a grelhar num grelhador untado com um pouco de azeite. Retire os vegetais quando estiverem prontos e saltei-os num pouco de azeite aromatizado com alho (use o dente de alho que sobrou). Polvilhe com orégãos. Sirva a espetada acompanhadas das batatas e dos vegetais. Bom apetite!

Taglioline de vinho tinto Barolo com salsichas de frango e ovo estrelado - Red Wine Barolo Taglioline with chicken sausages and fried egg
Bem, esta receita não é nada de mais e o único motivo pelo qual a publico é mesmo por se tratar de dois produtos novos que resolvi experimentar e queria partilhar convosco a minha opinião. Na minha última ida às compras descobri as novas salsichas Naturíssimas da Nobre, em versão frango e peru. Resolvi trazer uma embalagem de cada para experimentar. Gosto sempre de ter salsichas em casa, para quando estou sem vontade de fazer seja o que for mas tenho de me alimentar ;) Na fase da fritura, estas salsichas duplicaram de tamanho, pareciam balões inchados! Depois regressaram mais ou menos ao normal. Em termos de sabor, gostei, mas são mais rijas do que as salsichas a que estamos habituados. Lembraram-me as salsichas alemãs para cachorros. O ketchup que acompanha as salsichas é uma versão picante que encontrei á venda no Intermarché e da qual gosto bastante!
A acompanhar testei o taglioline de vinho tinto Barolo à venda no Lidl. Quando estava a cozer a massa notei um toque adocicado a canela e fui ver os ingredientes da massa que, além do vinho tinto e da canela, inclui beterraba em pó, pimenta branca, cravo-da-índia e noz-moscada. Estas especiarias dão à massa um toque muito especial e agradável. Fiquei fã. :)
Well, this is not a recipe that I would normally put up in the blog and the only reason I'm doing it is because I've tried some new products and I wanted to tell you my opinion of them. On my last round shopping, I discovered the new Naturíssimas sausages from Nobre, which are made of chicken and turkey and I decided to try them. I was like to have sausages on the house for those days when I'm not in the mood for cooking but still have to eat. These chicken sausages are good in taste, but their size doubled when they were frying. When I got them out they returned almost to their normal size. The only thing I was less fond of was the texture of te sausages, because they are a bit more stiff then the other, they reminded me of those german hot dog sausages. The ketchup that is near the sausages is a spicy variety that I found in Intermarché and that I really like.
My other experience was with the red wine Barolo taglioline that I bough in Lidl. when the pasta was cooking, I sensed a sweet cinnamon scent coming from it so I looked at the lable and discovered that the pasta as not only the red wine and the cinnamon, but also ground beetroot, white pepper, nutmeg and cloves. I think these spices give the pasta a very special and tasty touch. I'm a fan!

Panquecas da Nigella - Nigella's pancakes
Andava para experimentar estas panquecas há meses, mas ainda não me tinha dedicado ao assunto. Foi esta semana que as fiz e ficaram muito saborosas! Só achei que tinham um pouco de sal a mais, mas isso deve-se ao facto de não ter seguido a receita à risca e de ter utilizado manteiga com sal (era a única que tinha em casa) em vez de manteiga sem sal. Acompanhei com maple syrup e um copo de leite e foi o meu jantar, eheheh
I've been meaning to try these pancakes for months now but never really got around to do them. This week I decided it was about time to try them out and they are really quite tasty! The only problem was that mine got a bit salty, but that's just becaus I didn't follow the recipe to the letter and used salted butter (the only one I had) instead of unsalted one. I pored some maple syrup, had a glass of milk with it and that was dinner, eheheh
A receita...
Ingredientes (para cerca de 15 panquecas):
Para a mistura das panquecas
600 g de farinha
3 colheres de sopa (3x15 ml) de fermento em pó
2 colheres de chá de bicarbonato de sódio
1 colher de chá de sal
40 g de açúcar baunilhado ou refinado
Para fazer a massa e as panquecas
por cada 150 g de misture, adicione
1 ovo
250 ml de leite gordo ou meio gordo
1 colher de sopa (15 ml) de manteiga derretida
Preparação:
Misture todos os ingredientes secos e guarde num frasco. Quando for fazer as panquecas, misture muito bem os ingredientes húmidos (leite, ovo e manteiga). Aqueça uma frigideira antiaderente e, quando esta estiver bem quente, deite uma colher e meia a duas colheres de massa sobre a frigideira. Quando aparecerem bolhas à superfície da massa, vire-as para as dourar do outro lado. Cerca de um minuto de cada lado deve ser suficiente. Tenha atenção para não virar as panquecas cedo demais. Sirva com o maple syrup ou com o que preferir. Bom apetite!
The recipe...
Ingredientes (for about 15 pancakes)
for the dry pancake mixture
600 g of plain flour
3 tablespoons of baking powder
2 teaspoons od bicarbonate of soda
1 teaspoon of salt
40 g of caster sugar
to make the pancakes
for every 150 g of dry mixture add
1 egg
250 ml of milk
1 tablespoon of melted butter
Cooking:
Place all the dry ingredients into a bowl and mix well. Transfer to an airtight container, seal and store until needed.
To make the pancakes, add the appropriate quantity of egg, milk and melted butter per 150 g of the dry mixture. Mix well to form a smooth batter. Heat a flat griddle or non-stick frying pan without adding oil. Spoon drops of 1½ to 2 tablespoons of the batter onto the hot griddle and when bubbles appear on the surface of the little pancakes, flip them over and cook until golden-brown on both sides. It should take about a minute per side. Serve with maple syrup or whatever you prefer. Enjoy!

1 colher de chá de sal
40 g de açúcar baunilhado ou refinado
Para fazer a massa e as panquecas
por cada 150 g de misture, adicione
1 ovo
250 ml de leite gordo ou meio gordo
1 colher de sopa (15 ml) de manteiga derretida
Preparação:
Misture todos os ingredientes secos e guarde num frasco. Quando for fazer as panquecas, misture muito bem os ingredientes húmidos (leite, ovo e manteiga). Aqueça uma frigideira antiaderente e, quando esta estiver bem quente, deite uma colher e meia a duas colheres de massa sobre a frigideira. Quando aparecerem bolhas à superfície da massa, vire-as para as dourar do outro lado. Cerca de um minuto de cada lado deve ser suficiente. Tenha atenção para não virar as panquecas cedo demais. Sirva com o maple syrup ou com o que preferir. Bom apetite!

Caixa de chá chic - Chic tea box
Fiz esta caixinha de chá para uma amiga mas uma distracção acabou por me estragar o trabalho... e ela ficou tão gira!!! Quem não se importou nada foi a minha mãe, que ficou com uma caixa de chá para ela, loll. A caixa é em MDF e foi pintada com tintas acrílicas cinza e preta, tinta a óleo prateada nos detalhes e no stencil, e levou um guardanapo super chic :)
I made this tea box for a friend of mine but a small distraction ruinned it... and it looks so cute!! Well, my mum didn't mind the mistake and said she'd keep it. The box is in MDF and was painted with acrilic black and grey paints, plus silver oil paint aplied in the details and the stencil, and was covered with a very fancy napkin.
