Atum em cebolada / Tuna steak with onions


Clássica receita algarvia...(para 4 pax.4 bifes de atum com 250g.)
Começa-se por selar o atum de ambos os lados temperados de flôr de sal em bom azeite, reserva-se...
Acrescenta-se mais um pouco de azeite e refoga-se 4 cebolas em rodas grandes com 2 dentes de alho laminados e duas folhas de louro, junta-se um pimento verde com uma malagueta limpa de sementes e quatro tomates maduros igualmente limpos de pele e sementes, cozinha-se por alguns minutos e junta-se o atum rectificando os temperos.
Por fim, acrescenta-se um copo generoso de vinho branco seco e um pouco de salsa picada e cozinha-se por cerca de 10min - e é muito bom...

Small deep fryed sardines and bread coriander mash


This is another very simple and delicious dish often served in algarvian homes since my great grandfathers times

Simply season the small sardines cleaned from head with salt and lemon, dip them in flour and dip fry in good olive oil(it is very important that you use a good extra virgin olive oil)
Take some old bread and soak it in cold water, meanwhile, fry some chopped onion and garlic with a little of olive oil, add the bread and mix it very well so you get a pastry consistency...salt and take from the fire adding chopped coriander and a hole egg...mix it again and serve with the fish...
