- In today's video we go visit another river beach to escape the heat on our Quinta. We make some Milho Frito to take with, and we also get started on our veranda/patio build.
Recipe for milho frito
1 small onion, sliced
1 carrot, diced or grated
2 cups shredded cabbage
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 sprig thyme
1 TBSP pork lard
1 ½ litres water
500g corn meal/maize meal
Olive oil
In a large pot or pan, bring to heat and add some extra virgin olive oil and pork lard. Once pork lard is melted, add the garlic,thyme, onions and carrot, and saute for a few minutes, until just starting to soften. Add the cabbage and cook for a further few minutes, until starting to soften slightly. Add the water. When water has just started to warm slightly, not too warm, add the corn meal and stir through. On a medium heat, cook the mixture until it becomes thick and creamy, stirring regularly to avoid burning. Once thick and creamy, remove from heat, and place mixture into a large tray, about 2-2½ cm deep, and flatten. Allow to cool overnight. The next day, cut into slices of desired shape and thickness, and fry in a little oil until crispy.
In hindsight, we could have seasoned the dish a little, or used stock instead of water for a little more of a savoury flavour, but it was still very good 😁.
We thank you for watching and wish you all a lovely weekend.
Until next time,
Byeee
Sheldon says you mustn’t eat things if you’re not sure what they are, he’s worried you get poisoned 😂 that river beach is amazing!
Hahaha, hi Mariza 😊. Tell Sheldon we know what they are, we just don't know what type they are, but thanks for being worried about us.
Eish, haibo another makhulu bass veg. That's the "hulk" of patti pans. I think that you guys have :giant producing" soil. Just don't plant beans, same might just happen as what happened to Jack 😉🙃😁😁😁 love your projects. Proud of you guys 💙♥️😘
The hulk of patti pans 😂, it's either a Mexican or an Australian patti pan, Natalia can't remember which one 😂, could do with the golden egg that Jack found at the top of the beanstalk 🤔
Perfect filming. I'm learning something. Thanks. The harvest and food look wonderful too !!
That swimming hole looks soooo much fun !!
Thank you so much, we do our best 😊
It was amazing fun.
I felt cooler just watching you in the water!!
We missed you, wasn't quite the same without you, at least we have an excuse to have to go again 😜
So beautiful!!!!!
We agree, it is an absolutely beautiful place.
Loved watching this. The river beach is a little paradise 😍.
Aah, thank you so much. It is really a lovely little river beach, we are constantly blown away by the natural beauty of the sea, many little hidden gems.
Beautiful part of the country 🇵🇹 and the perfect life 🎉🥳 love your veggies and your projects always fascinate me😃 keep up the good work!🕺💃🏻😁😘
Hi Madrinha, thank you so much 😊. We also love the veggies 😁
I never had milho frito ,it d not a dish we make where ard from in Portugal!!
It looks delicious!!I make something similar here but without the cabbage!!
That river is absolutely beautiful!!
Great progress on your farm it looks great!!Allways a pleasure watching your videos😀
Hi Dina, it seems that the version we did is closer to the version made in Madeira, with a few things that we added to our taste of course 😁 Thank you for watching, we are glad you enjoy the videos😊
This is the ribeira were i grew up, and i ad my first affairs, lool!!! I will be there soon!!!
Ooh, we like hearing these stories😂. Glad we could bring back some good memories. We will definitely go back there, we loved it.
Great video guys 👍 let me know when you need some lessons
Hey guys, we will do that for sure, will possibly pop around in the week😁
I am going to try this recipe. I have tried fried cornmeal before, without all the vegetables and it was ok, but I think this will be so much better. Thanks for sharing.
Please do, let us know how it goes. When we do it again for ourselves, we will use a bit more seasoning, or maybe some stock, just to add a little more flavour😉
Another great video, after hard work comes good food. Milo frito looks delicious all that is missing is a espetada on the side. Great spot for a picnic by the water falls. Keep up the good work.
Thanks Dadsh 🤗, now you must come visit so we can take you there. Espetada would be amazing 🤤, will have to do that one day 👍
hello ...i live in panama but i was born in paùl...beautiful village...
Paùl is a beautiful village. We visit every year come summer time ☀️ We are surrounded by beauty 😉
Another tasty meal I have to try! Are your chickens laying eggs yet?
Hi Mona, not yet,we are waiting (im)patiently 😂. We think they are still a few weeks too young.
Another great video. How often do you post? Twice a week??
Hello Sondra. Thank you. We post every Tuesday & Friday. Have a lovely day ahead.
They are so sweet roasted. Bigger does not mean better in veg world.
We will for sure be doing the roasted option, thanks for the tip. Have heard that there is a "sweet spot" regarding size and flavour in the veggies, we think though that these are a large variety of squash.
Oops, just watching this, I see you've started already 🤔
We wanted to have been over to yours before the video aired, but time ran away with us a bit, haven't done much, so will be around soon to get some advice😁
ARE IN PARADISE.
We agree😊
