Rosemary and Garlic Roasted Potatoes

By -
These roast potatoes are yummy, crunchy on the outside with a tender inside, and with lots of flavor from the roasted rosemary and garlic. Sounds good, right? Oh..... and so very easy to make.



cut the potatoes in half,

then slice them again, you dont have to, but it gives you more side to get crispy ( remove any taters with spots)

add them to a bowl

next, smash up your garlic cloves, as many or as little as you like

add them to the potatoes ( remove the garlic skins, if it bothers you )

next add in you rosemary, rub off the little leaves through your fingers


next season with sea salt

then drizzle with the olive oil

mix everything up, and place on a baking sheet ( I line it, with parchment, makes for easy clean up)




Rosemary and Garlic Roasted Potatoes

1 kilo  bag of baby potatoes, quartered or halved, depending on size (you want them all to be about the same size)
4-5 cloves of garlic, minced
4 sprigs of fresh rosemary, taken off stem
 5-6 tablespoons olive oil
coarse salt
**** the amounts you use, end up being up to you, and then seasoned to your own taste

Preheat oven to 220/ 400°F
Rinse and dry the potatoes....then slice potatoes into  bite size pieces and place in a large bowl.
Toss the potatoes with the rosemary,, garlic, and salt
Next add the olive oil and toss the potatoes again to spread the oil evenly.
Place the potatoes on a baking sheet ( lined with foil or parchment), making sure that they are evenly distributed across the pan.
Roast in the oven for 35 minutes. Take out of the oven and flip the potatoes so that another side of the potatoes cooks. Place back in the oven for about 10 minutes more, or until crispy.
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes.

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...
