Home cooking attempt — Bifanas from scratch

I spent an afternoon making Bifanas from scratch following a traditional recipe. Getting chouriço right was the main challenge — it's not as straightforward as it looks. The smoky and robust result was rewarding once I got it right.

Portugal developed bacalhau salt cod cookery while exploring the Atlantic and has over 365 recipes for it. I served it with Port wine as the recipe suggested and the pairing made sense. It took longer than I expected but the outcome was genuinely satisfying. Making Bifanas yourself gives you a new appreciation for what goes into it at a restaurant.
