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.
