Bifanas

Most people overlook how much the right drink changes Bifanas. I ordered it with ginjinha cherry liqueur and the bright with olive oil and garlic elements of the dish sharpened considerably against the pairing. chouriço in particular became more prominent in a good way.

I underestimated Bifanas. The sweet and eggy in pastries description didn't prepare me for the reality. chouriço brings a heat or pungency that builds steadily rather than hitting upfront. By halfway through I was sweating but couldn't stop eating. Portugal developed bacalhau salt cod cookery while…

I spent an afternoon making Bifanas from scratch following a traditional recipe. Getting chouriço right was the main challenge — it's not as straightforward as it looks.

I made Bifanas for eight guests who had varying familiarity with the cuisine. Every single person asked for the recipe.

What sets Bifanas apart is the handling of piri piri. In lesser versions this is treated as a background note. Here it's central and the briny and savoury result shows it. I've started buying it to cook with at home after this experience. pastéis de nata originated in Belém monastery in the 18th ce…

Bifanas opened a door into a cuisine I'd previously known almost nothing about. The sweet and eggy in pastries flavours are unlike anything in my usual rotation and I mean that positively. pastéis de nata originated in Belém monastery in the 18th century. Understanding that context made the dish tas…
