Muxama with Orange is a delightful fusion of traditional Portuguese cuisine. Muxama, a delicacy made from cured tuna loins, is thinly sliced and paired with fresh orange to balance its robust, salty flavor. This unique combination originates from the Algarve region, renowned for its fishing heritage and sun-soaked citrus groves. Rich in protein and omega-3 fatty acids from the tuna, Muxama offers heart-health benefits, while the orange contributes a burst of vitamin C, antioxidants, and natural sweetness. Despite these advantages, Muxama’s curing process involves salt, making it relatively high in sodium, which should be considered for balanced consumption. Often enjoyed as a gourmet appetizer, this dish exemplifies Portugal's dedication to bold flavors and wholesome, locally sourced ingredients.
