A very traditional dish served in a very traditional dish, the bowl although old and worn, belonged to my avo Felicidade, (grandmother).
Açorda (pronounced assorda) is very popular dish made through out Portugal. It's a meal made hearty by the addition of crusty bread. Açorda has it's roots in the poorer communities and homes and hold a strong and meaningful tradition that is passed on.
Açorda de marisco can be very common & not so common would be the addition of meatballs. The sauce or broth for this concoction is made with shrimp broth (made by boiling shrimp & the shells) and blending with homemade tomato sauce with oregano and a little piri-piri (hot sauce). The result, is a tomato/shrimp bisque flavor, and topped with fresh cilantro and basil.
