What are lapas you ask? They are limpets, a shellfish, think clams, but with only one shell and so much better, they taste of the sea when eaten raw, right out of the shell. Perhaps eating a raw limpet is not your thing, then lapas grelhadas is sure to be! Easy to prepare, the lapas are grilled and served in their own shells; resulting in a savory, and divine dish. Great as a starter or as a lazy summer afternoon meal. I promise that you will enjoy this Azorean delicacy. Fresh Lapas Butter, soft, I like salted Garlic, minced Massa de Malagueta or Piri Piri/Tabasco/Sriracha Lemon Wedges -Clean the lapas, removing any debris, sand etc. -Next decide how you want to grill them, on the stove top, use a griddle or large frying pan, in the oven or BBQ use a large cookie sheet. They all work, and taste great! -Carefully, arrange the lapas, shell down (cupped side down, this means the juices won’t spill out), on the pan, cookie sheet or griddle you will be using. -Nex

Diana, sabe tão bem vermos os nossos vegetais a crescer. Não tenho propriamente uma horta, pois o meu marido foi criado numa cidade, não gosta de trabalhar na terra, e eu tenho pouco tempo, mas o meu pai plantou-me couves, abóboras, tomates, etc.(coisas que não requerem muita manutenção) e eu adoro ir lá de vez em quando e ficar a vê-las crescer de dia para dia. As couves já estão quase no ponto. Qualquer dia, já apanho umas. Hei de fazer qualquer coisa para pôr no blogue com as minhas primeiras couves. Um beijinho
