Sardines are one of those simple ingredients that Portuguese people really love. They are not fancy, and they do not need a complicated recipe. When they are cooked well, with sea salt, olive oil, lemon and good bread, they are one of the best things you can eat.

If there is one Portuguese ingredient I always love introducing to people, it is bacalhau. Bacalhau is one of the most important ingredients in Portuguese cooking. It is salted cod, and you will find it in many Portuguese homes, restaurants and family meals.
