About Acorda

Açorda is a traditional Portuguese dish known for its hearty and comforting flavor. Originating from the Alentejo region, it is a bread-based stew typically made with stale bread, garlic, olive oil, herbs like cilantro, and poached eggs. Variations may include shrimp, codfish, or other proteins, giving it a savory twist. Açorda is an excellent source of fiber due to its bread base and provides protein when prepared with eggs or seafood. Olive oil adds healthy fats, which can benefit heart health. However, its nutritional value depends on the ingredients used, as some versions may be high in sodium or less nutrient-dense with certain bread choices. Açorda represents a frugal and sustainable cuisine, traditionally made to avoid food waste, embodying the richness of Portuguese culinary heritage while offering the potential for a balanced meal when thoughtfully prepared.
