Coriander Açorda

Saturday, 13 June 2009


Açorda (pronounced a sor da) is a traditional portuguese dish that is very creamy and goes well with fish, mushrooms, etc.

time of preparation: 30 min

350g of old loaf (2 days old)
4 cloves of garlic, crushed with salt
1/2 bunch of coriander, chopped
salt
olive oil
hot water
1 egg, whisked

Slice the loaf in thin slices. In a big pan, add olive oil and fry the crushed garlic. Add the slices of bread and mix them well in the mixture of garlic and olive oil. Add half the coriander and little by little add hot water, to soften the bread. Mix it all with a wood spoon creating a cream, that can't be too solid or too liquid.
When the acorda is ready, check the spices and , without stop mixing, add the egg. Sprinkle with the rest of the coriander and serve it hot.
