in #food7 years ago (edited)

Hello hello!!

25th April is a holiday in Portugal, 'Dia da Liberdade' (Freedom day) that celebrates the beginning of democracy (it happened 43 years ago in 1974).
There are a lot of parties for celebration, but I needed some rest time as next weekend promises to be a hard working one.

Last Sunday I didn't prepare my (usual) Sunday Cook (of course I ate, but nothing that deserves the SundayCook tag). Today I prepared something delicious and worth of a post to Steemit under the SundayCook tag.

This Sunday Tuesday holiday I cooked

Cuttlefish 'à bulhão pato' (Choquinhos à bulhão pato)

The aromas were so great that we decided it was worth to open a special bottle of white wine, Comenda Grande from Alentejo region, you should try!

What is Sunday Cook?!

These Sunday Cook project began with a strong will to contribute to Steemit with my personal view of Portuguese cuisine. I really believe we have plenty of good food. I'm not a professional or nothing similar, but I can assure that I'll do my best! On Sundays, I like to prepare more elaborate and delicious food. It requires time and patient. Usually, I cook some traditional Portuguese food, or at least with Portuguese inspiration :) I try to do it in a healthier way, using the minimum fat as possible, and normally I pick some recipe and transform it. During the week I don't like to spend much time cooking (no time at all), that's why I get totally motivated to cook on Sundays!!

Looks amazing! 😊

And it is!! Thanks a lot :)

Thanks!! It is, really, but I'm not a good describer of flavors!

yaaay lulas! i love them!

also, why dont you write more about the dia da liberdade?

These are "chocos", but for me the flavor it's pretty the same.
I thought to write more on Liberdade's day, but I think it deserves a full post. But I don't have a carnation photo and I would need time to do some research...wich I don't have :( maybe next year!
