Where to find ingredients
You can source these ingredients at local wet markets or supermarket meat counters. Look for specific Portuguese items like chouriço and farinheira in the international or specialty deli sections. If these are unavailable, you may substitute them with high-quality smoked garlic sausages or chorizo as a nearby alternative, though the original products are recommended for authenticity.
Preparation method
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil and season with salt.
- Add the various meats and simmer until tender.
- As each cut of meat reaches the desired tenderness, remove it from the pot and keep it in a warm place.
- Once all the meats have been removed, add the vegetables to the pot with the remaining broth and cook until tender.
- To prepare the rice, place your measured portion into a separate saucepan.
- Add twice the volume of the hot broth from the meat pot to the rice.
- Cook over medium heat until the rice is tender and the liquid has been fully absorbed, ensuring a dry and fluffy texture.
