Chef Filipa Ferreira from Escolas Do Turismo De Portugal shows us how to make a Francesinha, or Portuguese Croque Monsieur. Francesinha, means “little Frenchie” in Portuguese, and is a sandwich filled with ham, sausage, and steak. The decadent sandwich is covered with melted cheese then a hot sauce made with beer, white wine and port is poured over the top.

"Oh no, I don't have ham and cheese to make croque-monsieur. Let me use ham, cheese, beefsteak, salsichas, chouriço and an egg instead"... I don't think they thought the story about him not having the ingredients through ! Absolutely glorious dish, though.

[@linoramalho2291]

That's not even the real story, she made things up. Daniel David da Silva, the inventor of the francesinha, decided to use typical portuguese products to please the portuguese client's taste. You can try the original francesinha in the restaurant where it was invented in Porto, it's called A Regaleira.

very well explained, filmed and whatever you want! Congradulations!

[@ricardodelacrvz1400]

you dont normally see people skinning the sausage and making a patty like that I suppose, but its much better technique.
still one of the most mouth watering portuguese dishes, its just way too tasty. I love it.
bom ver também que temos genuínos portugueses a bem representar a nossa cultura no estrangeiro.
cai aqui neste video porque vou fazer uma francesinha mais logo!! ahah

[@DetectiveOakvale]

Looks great! I'll have to give this a try.

[@mrThorleifsen]

Went to a local Porto restaurant last month to a lady who owns the place who couldn't speak English at all, had an amazing Francesinha that I ever had at the end.

Where is the famous cooking school in Portugal? I'm Korean, but I want to learn Portuguese cuisine when I retire

[@ricardoraposo3630]

any grandmother's house 😁

[@badgerattoadhall]

yes, these are as good as they look.

[@johnsilverlargo]

Qué buena pinta!

[@joshold5840]

Great video! I tried it in Porto and it was very heavy but tasty.

[@sundok1]

Fuck yeah! I knew this croque already but your explanation and presentation is very well done. deep diving in food culture, i love that.

[@d0Q0b]

Sooo, as someone from Porto this kinda is my expertise, I also don't think this was a good explanation, he clealrly had enough ingredients to experiment lol.
There are two types of sauce you can do, not one.
Essential to the character of this meal is that the fries are missing in the presentation, as they are served on the side and people just mix them once the sauce is poured on the francesinha, I'm really sorry but it's as important as the sandwich to miss that is to miss the dish... As someone stated fried egg is an option added on top and very popular.
I would only eat this dish in Porto district or if the chef has been to porto or done proper research, ive seen too many people claiming to know how to make it and often its not even remotely close to the original variations, it's a freestyle dish but certain steps are still mandatory in my opinion if you want to call it a Francesinha.

💕..

[@andersonrodrigues3755]

Faltou o ovo frito por cima

[@Alkusanat]

essa é a versão especial... há uma variante com um camarão por cima

[@d0Q0b]

Yup

[@d0Q0b]

​@@Alkusanatessa versão com camarão é um Flex do além😝 e só nalguns sítios vais encontrar, com molho de camarão claro.

[@RivetGardener]

No, no egg please!

[@telmomoreira4075]

The name is "francesinha" not "francesinha á moda do Porto" because francesinha Porto style is the original. You have "francesinha a moda de Braga" or "francesinha á Poveira" being interpretations of the original. Also she made up the part the guy who created the dish didn't have the ingredients.

[@vahehatch2800]

looks like from Taiwanese brunch recipes, overcomplicated though.

[@ruialmeida818]

Forget brunch... if you eat one of these for lunch, you won't be doing anything else for the rest of the day. This is the perfect hangover food, but it will leave you sleepy for the rest of the day. By the way, I'm from Porto - the city that made this sandwich in the first place.

[@manu3281]

Looks ridiculous

[@FartSquirel]

The story of how it started in wrongfully told. It started with the Croque Monsieur and experimenting with the rest of ingredientes that were added in different fases until it got to be the Francesinha. It had nothing to do with lack of the ingredients.
