I love following your recipes. As I age I come to realize just how much I miss my culture and especially my vovó‘S cooking. Thank you for sharing these recipes we grew up with. I know it won’t taste just like our vovó use to but at least we can cook it for ourselves and our families. Thank you for helping us keep our heritage alive.

Curious on the history of this recipe and what makes it Azorean vs. a mainland Portuguese dish?

Jim, according to the author's website, this is a regional and popular dish in the Azores, not mainland, so I am only assuming, but maybe that is why you can't compare it with mainland, because they don't cook it there.
