We went for holidays in Portugal for Daniels bday with the whole family and the food there is incredible!!! I felt the every meal was a whole new experience! The flavours, the combination of ingredients! All so simple and so delicious!!!

We are trying to recreate some of our favourite dishes we had while there…

First try is the vitela à mirandesa!
Steak with an amazing garlic and olive oil sauce, with a hidden flavour: balsamic vinegar!!!!
You must try! There they served it with a simple rice and greens! We made it here with mangetout beans and chips!

Hope you like it too!! 😉

First attempt to put the vinegar and olive oil together = fail!!
