Little Portugal - Lauren Covas

In a pocket of New Jersey, there lies a place called Little Portugal where authentic Portuguese cooking can be found on every street corner… Chef Lauren Van Liew—champion of Food Network''s Chopped and Food Network''s Supermarket Stakeout—grew up in Little Portugal, and now she’s sharing her gourmet takes on her hometown’s recipes.Portuguese cuisine is healthy and light while still being decadent and satisfying. Think Stuffed Vinegar Peppers with Chorizo or Grilled Octopus Carpaccio to start, then Laggosta Asada (Mini Lobster Tails with Pickled Radish and Saffron Butter) or Chicken Mozambique (Stewed Chicken Breast with Preserved Lemons and Garlic) as a main. From Braised Escarole & Sofrito to Perna de Borrego Asado (Roast Leg of Lamb with Roasted Pepper Marmalade), these recipes are perfect for home cooks jumping on the Portugal travel trend or eating more Portuguese food at up-and-coming restaurants. Lauren’s creativity matched with Portuguese culinary tradition makes for irresistible fare.
