Portuguese Cozido à Portuguesa (Boiled Meal) Comments
Julie
I love cozido. I do make a difference I don't have the pig feet or the pig ears I don't like turnips or cabbage some mine is simple just potatoes and meat and the greens and I forgot the vegetables.
I also make a simpler version, without pigs ears and feet, Marcela and farinheira.
I do love it with everything, but because of kids, grandchildren and a non-Portuguese wife, I have to keep everyone happy!!
Thanks for the great recipes.
Sorry Joanna, been extremely busy today. Chuck, flank, shank, brisket, rump and round are all good.

My mother used to make this in a big pot and add macaroni to cook along with everything else. That way, she would take out the meat and vegetables and still have a delicious soup.
This meal is typically made in the hot springs of the Furnas by placing it in a large container and then lowering it in its pot into the holes that have been dug expressly for this purpose where it steam cooks for approximately 6 hours. To best achieve the same result, I would suggest cooking this in a crock pot and layering the items so that the potatoes are on the bottom, the meats next and the cabbages next, and then use the high setting for 4 hours, or the low setting for 8 hours.
Yes the sulfur pits in Furnas, San Miguel were the ovens for the restaurants- brings back tasty memories.. of course with Portuguese fresh bread and vino…
