Portuguese cuisine and traditional dishes are renowned for their use of fresh ingredients, primarily comprising seafood and fresh vegetables. Here are some traditional Portuguese foods and dishes you may wish to consider for kid-friendly meals at home:

• Cataplana de Marisco: This hearty seafood stew is typical to the Algarve region of Portugal, originally influenced by North African cuisine. The Portuguese dish consists of prawns, clams, fresh fish, ripe tomatoes and seasonal Mediterranean vegetables, steam-cooked to perfection.
• Caldo verde: A traditional Portuguese soup, often made with potatoes, kale and sausages.
• Sardine dishes: Popular with locals and tourists alike—due to the country's extensive coastline and rich fishing tradition—sardine dishes are a key part of Portugal’s heritage. Typically, fresh sardines are grilled and seasoned simply with sea salt and served with roasted peppers, boiled potatoes and a slice of crusty bread.
• Piri piri chicken dishes: Traditional Portuguese-style chicken dishes are oozing with fresh herbs and spices, giving them that world-renowned kick. Most often, spatchcocked chicken is marinated in a mixture of salt, lemon juice, olive oil and garlic, with as many chopped piri piri chillies as desired. You’ll find this delicious dish served with chips, rice or fresh green salads all throughout Portugal. Try our Portuguese chicken burger or Portuguese chicken tenderloins recipe.
