Where to find ingredients
You can find most of these ingredients at wet markets (for fresh pork cuts, trotters, and ears) or the butchery section of major supermarkets like FairPrice Finest or Cold Storage. For authentic Portuguese charcuterie such as chouriço, farinheira, and blood sausage, check the international aisle of high-end grocers or specialised European food importers in Singapore.
Preparation method
- Place a large pot of water on the stove and season generously with salt.
- Add the meats to the pot and let them simmer until tender.
- As each meat finishes cooking, remove it from the pot and keep it warm in a covered dish.
- Once all the meat has been removed, add the prepared vegetables to the remaining broth and cook until tender.
- To prepare the rice, place your measured portion in a separate saucepan.
- Add twice the volume of the reserved cooking broth to the rice.
- Cook over medium heat until the rice is tender, ensuring it stays dry and fluffy.
