Ingredients:- meat: cow, pork, chicken and duck
- pig's ears (i don't know what else to call it...)
- salami
- smoked ham
- chorizo (portuguese, not spanish!)
- linguiça (portuguese sausage)
- farinheira (portuguese smoked sausage)
- bacon
- portuguese cabbage
- carrots
- potatoes
- turnips
- olive oil
- salt
- pepper
1- Boil all the meat in a pan (the sausages and the pork should be previously soaked for a couple of hours)
2- Put a thin string of olive oil over the boiling water and season with salt and pepper
3- Then, when everything starts to be cooked, remove the sausages, ham and bacon. Then remove the pork meat and, when its well cooked, remove the cow meat.
4- In the same water, boil the vegetables. When they're done, remove the pan from the stove.
5- Cut all the meat and dispose it in a large enough recipient, as well as the vegetables (meats to one side, vegetables to the other).
6- Again, in the same water, cook the rice. Serve with good portuguese red wine from Alentejo (see below) and an empty stomach!
Recomended red wines:
Good:
- Lusitano 2008
- Solar dos Lobos 2006
Excelent:
- Comenda Grande 2004, Reserva
- Adega Coop. de Borba 2001, Reserva

you don't do pig ears in it. there is no salami in it and also no ham or bacon and also no duck. That is not in the original cozida portugues. The other things are right.
and also no rice!!
Thank you for your comment, but I am portuguese and that's the recipe I eat in every restaurant that serves Cozido and that's the recipe that my grandmother and my mother always did. But if you have a different variation of the recipe, please share it!
Thank you very much and I hope you enjoy my recipes.

The historical background of the Cozido à Portuguesa, from what my father said, explains that it was a recipe made from the leftovers previous meals, so you could put anything you had on the pan and cook it!
Best regards,
Miguel

yes there is pig's ear and rice. Never heard about salami or bacon, though. And you can use duck or chicken. Some people add some sweet potatoes red beans that are dried yet (feijão maduro) or broad beans to it. It depends a lot on where you live or what is seasonable. I'm a portuguese descendent and am currently living in Portugal for 35 years now... so I should know.
You did well posting the recipe.... Good idea!
