About Moelas
Moelas, or Portuguese-style chicken gizzards, are a traditional dish from Portugal often enjoyed as an appetizer or tapas. Made by slow-cooking chicken gizzards in a savory sauce of olive oil, garlic, onions, tomato, white wine, and spices such as paprika and bay leaves, Moelas boast a rich and hearty flavor. The dish is protein-rich due to the gizzards, which are packed with nutrients like iron, zinc, and B vitamins essential for energy and immune health. Although lower in fat than many organ meats, Moelas may occasionally contain elevated cholesterol levels, so moderation is key. Traditionally served with crusty bread or alongside rice, this dish is a staple in Portuguese rustic and comfort food cuisine. Its robust flavors and nutrient profile make it a satisfying option, though attention to portion size can help balance its indulgent components.
