Authentic flavors that tell the story of our land

  1. Lampreia do Rio Minho

    Seasonal dish, prepared mainly during the winter and spring months, when the lamprey ascends the Minho River to spawn. It is traditionally prepared à bordalesa (with rice or in rice) or baked in the oven, using the fish's own blood, red wine, and aromatic herbs. Its preparation is a ritual that dates back centuries, reflecting the strong connection of the riverside community to the river and its natural cycles.

  2. Arroz de Sarrabulho

    A robust and traditional dish from the Minho region, present in Vila Nova de Cerveira. It is made with different pork meats (rojões, tripe, chorizo), pork blood, cumin, and bread, cooked until it achieves a creamy consistency. Its preparation is linked to the tradition of pig slaughter, being a dish of celebration and conviviality, reflecting the richness of the region's rural flavors.

  3. Rojões à Minhota

    Another emblematic dish from Minho, rojões are pieces of pork (usually loin or leg) cut into cubes and marinated in white wine, garlic, and bay leaf, before being fried in their own fat. They are often accompanied by boiled or fried potatoes, floured tripe, farinheira, and sometimes boiled chestnuts. They represent the traditional and hearty cuisine of the region, with an intense and comforting flavor.
