I never thought I’d experience one of my all time favourite Portuguese dishes since going Vegan, but this alternative version has blown me away. It took me back to my Mae’s food, the nori sheets & dulse flakes created the perfect fish/seafood flavour. Adjust the chilli to your taste as well as the salt. A must to try & for the non-vegan version just replace the tofu with actual fish-most will work & simmer for 20 min or until fish is cooked. Enjoy-Serve over rice or crusty Portuguese bread!

HAPPY PORTUGAL DAY!!!!!

04/06/2010

Portugal’s National Day is June 10, 1580, the date of Luis Camões’ Death.

Luis Camões was an adventurer who lost an eye in battle. He wrote an
epic poem “OS LUSIADAS” and survived a shipwreck. During the
shipwreck Camões saved his poem by swimming with one arm while keeping
the other above water. Camões became a national symbol of Portuguese
culture and literature.
