Honey Soy Baked Chicken Thighs

By -
This is one of our favorites, around our table. I like chicken thighs, it's a lovely meat, thats tasty, and not as expensive as the breast meat. You could easily prepare this the night before, or early in the morning, put everyting in the plastic zipper bag, and let it marinate. You could  use chicken legs, and the skin can also be removed, from either piece of meat. I served these with some spaghetti and this peanut sauce, they are really great with rice too. Hope you give them a try !




olive oil, garlic, soy sauce, honey, and ginger

add chicken thighs, and ingredients, into a zipper bag

place thighs in a baking dish

bake @ 200º for 40-50 minutes




Honey Soy Baked Thighs

3 tablespoons  olive oil

1/4 cup soy sauce

1/4 cup honey

3 garlic cloves

1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger or 1 teaspoon dry ginger ( optional)

6 bone-in chicken thighs


1. Preheat the oven to  200/375F.

2. In a small bowl combine the olive oil, soy sauce, honey, garlic and ginger.( I like to add everything to a zipper bag, and let marinate)
3. Place the chicken pieces in baking dish. Spoon the sauce over the chicken and turn them over several times to make sure each is well coated.

4. Bake the chicken for 40 minutes. Turn the chicken pieces over and cook for 10 minutes more.

5. Serve hot with any extra sauce from the baking dish spooned over the top.



***** I served it with spaghetti and this peanut sauce.

My Grandmother's Alcatra de Carne

By -

“Alcatra” is a traditional dish from Terceira, the island I live on. It is a pot roast that is cooked in large unglazed red clay pots. The pots are seasoned, and with each use get darker, and darker.  The simple spices, combined with onions, bacon and wine are what make this dish  flavorfull and so good. "Alcatra" is the Arabic word for "piece", and  it is  made with pieces of beef (round, shank, chuck). The additon of meat with bone in, makes all the difference, as the bones will give it more flavor. Every village, and everybodies grandmother has a different recipe for Alcatra, this one happens to be my grandmother's version. Shortly after I married, I took all of my ingredients, a notebook and pen over to my maternal grandmother's house. Where, while she put everything together, I wrote down her words of wisdom. Now I must say, she may or may not have forgotten something, but I follow this recipe as is, I don't mess arond with it, it's her recipe, ...

Lapas Grelhadas- Grilled Limpets

By -

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...

Canja de Galinha

Canja is my favorite soup in the whole entire world! I know that sounds childlike, but that's exactly how I feel when I eat this beautiful rice and chicken soup. It just takes me back to being a little girl, sitting at my grandfather's kitchen table, eating a bowl of my grandmother's canja and drinking a bottle of  fizzy orange pirolito. When ever we arrived here on the island for our holiday's, canja was one of the many dishes, that was part of the big family lunch at my maternal grandparent's home. I make it for my family because they enjoy it, but I tend to make it for myself when I am a little under the weather, or just feeling saudades. Canja is love in a bowl, like a great big warm hug, comfort at it's best. Like any portuguese dish, there are a million and one ways to make this. Some call for the use of cumin, others the addition of potatoes. This is how I make it, these simple flavors, are the closest to what my grandmother's  and my mom's Ca...
