Espetada Carnival is a festive dish rooted in Portuguese cuisine, specifically inspired by the culinary traditions of Madeira. The dish features skewered chunks of marinated beef or chicken, often seasoned with garlic, olive oil, fresh herbs, and a splash of white wine or lemon juice, then grilled to perfection. Accompanying vegetables like bell peppers, onions, and zucchini are commonly added to enhance flavor and nutritional value. Espetada is protein-rich, making it an excellent source of essential amino acids. When paired with vegetables and a modest amount of olive oil, it offers healthy fats, vitamins, and antioxidants. However, watch portion sizes and avoid excessive salts or marinades high in sugars, which may reduce its healthiness. Often served with bread or rice, moderation with sides is key to balancing this hearty and flavorful dish in a nutritious diet.
