Anyone here Portuguese?

[the max]

I'm looking for a good blade meat recipe and have been unable to find one.

 

All I know is that a friend of my family used to bring over a crockpot of perfectly seasoned blade meat, we'd all take some chunks, put them on a portuguese roll and have some of the best slow cooked food ever. I've looked around in town, but everything is carribean or mexican as far as "exotic" foods go. No Portuguese restaurants or meat markets.

 

So, I'm putting the call out because I'm really hoping to find at least the basics to a recipe that I can fine-tune. Ideally, I'd like to make it in my slow cooker/crockpot, but I'm mainly just looking for the spices and right cut of meat.

 

Thank you.

Oh. I thought for a moment that you were a cannibal who wanted to eat the Portuguese.

I'm not Portugese, and this may not be exact, but I know Brazilian food and I know Spanish food, and I know Google, so I found this:

 

http://www.portuguese-recipes.com/Pork%20C...la%20Recipe.htm

 

and I think it's what you're looking for. Check out Pork Caciola, anything involving that. Sounds really good, at any rate. That recipe is even made in a crockpot as well (I might want to try this out). Tell me how it works out.

I tried that recipe from the website you gave me. It was good, not great. It hit the spot for now, but I'm really hoping that Darthtiki can hook us up with a better recipe.

I'll ask my friend tonight
