Today is my Portuguese grandmother's birthday. She was born (1897) and raised on the island of Kaua'i. She died in 1990. During my growing up years the family gathered at Grandma's house New Years Eve/Day to celebrate her birthday. She would make Vinha D'alhos every year and serve it for breakfast, New Years Day. She didn't put the hot chili peppers in it, though. Precious memories...thank you for sharing...
My husband’s father was Portuguese. He passed in 2016. My husband has been talking about this dish and his fond memories. I’m going to make this as a surprise for him! Thank you so much!
This recipe is traditional from the Portuguese island Madeira. But they add white wine and white wine vinegar, lots of garlic, laurel, thyme or marjoram, local ref chili and of course salt. Leave the meat marinating at least 3 days in this, before cooking it. Maderians usually make sandwiches or eat this dish with potatoes, yam or even sweet potatoes...
There’s another video making this from another woman from Hawai’i and there were some upset Portuguese people in the comments complaining that they don’t use vinegar, they use red wine (hence the name). This dish was brought over to Hawai’i from Portuguese immigrants coming to work the plantations and the recipe that’s known in Hawai’i now reflects those peoples recipe… I figure it must be a regional thing, where they used vinegar, not wine or as you’re saying, they use both wine and white wine vinegar…so it does seem like there are regional dishes that use vinegar. The thing is, immigrants used to come mainly from certain regions because someone would go there and promote that people should come here, so our Portuguese immigrants tend to be from the same few places.
