It&#8217;s made on the grill and served with boiled potatoes, peppers and bread.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<h3><strong>Feijoada \u00e0 Transmontana<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Originated in Tr\u00e1s-os-Montes, a northern region of Portugal, feijoada \u00e0 transmontana is one of the most traditional and appreciated dishes around all the country. It&#8217;s made with red beans studded with chunks of pork (sometimes including the ears and snout) and vegetables. This dish is a combination of different Portuguese flavours and spices and is a perfect option for a large number of guests.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<h3><strong>Cozido \u00e0 Portuguesa<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cozido \u00e0 Portuguesa is another dish extremely appreciated around the country. It&#8217;s essentially a dish of slowly boiled meats (beef, pork and chicken), different types of sausages, potatoes, cabbages and carrots. Although, depending on the region, the ingredients often change.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<h3><strong>Bacalhau \u00e0 Minhota<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Portugal has a great tradition of codfish consumption, having dozens of different dishes. This one has origins in the Minho region, and for me is one of the tastiest ways of eating this fish. Essentially, it&#8217;s fried codfish seasoned with pepper and salt, served with fried potatoes, drizzled with a sauce of olive oil, onion, peppers and garlic.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<h3><strong>Francesinha<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Francesinha or translating to English &#8220;little Frenchie&#8221; it&#8217;s a dish created in Porto during the &#8217;60s by Daniel David da Silva, that returning from France and inspired by the French sandwich <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">croque-monsieur <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">created his version. In a few words, it&#8217;s a toasted bread layered with pork\/beef, smoked sausage, bacon, ham and topped with a fried egg and cheese. All of those are served with fries and a spicy sauce that differs from place to place.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I could stay here all-day describing Portuguese dishes (we have really many), but I&#8217;m getting hungry so it&#8217;s better to stop here. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hope you enjoyed this little journey through the Portuguese cuisine, and if you want to try some treats here in Prague, I suggest <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/oliveirawinetapasmarket\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><b>Oliveira &#8211; Wine Tapas Market<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in \u010cerm\u00e1kova.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Also, if you&#8217;d like to try other cuisines in Prague, check out our articles about<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.foreigners.cz\/tip-for-an-indian-restaurant-in-prague-indian-by-nature\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><b>Indian restaurants<\/b><\/a> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.foreigners.cz\/vietnamese-culture-prague-5-must-try-foods\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><b>Vietnamese food<\/b><\/a><b>.<\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b>Follow us on <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Foreigners.czPrague\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><b>Facebook<\/b><\/a><b> and <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/prague.foreigners\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><b>Instagram<\/b><\/a><b>, and don&#8217;t forget to <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foreigners.cz\/newsletter\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><b>subscribe to our newsletter to get daily updates<\/b><\/a><b> about the current situation in the Czech Republic.<\/b><\/p>\n<p><em>Photo source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Pinterest<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p><script async defer src=\"\/\/assets.pinterest.com\/js\/pinit.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Portugal, a small country bordering the Atlantic Ocean, over the almost ten centuries of history, has created an extensive gastronomic culture.
