Last Thursday it was dia das amigo, that's male friends that come together, have a drink, play some pool etc
Today it was for the ladies. So on this day the men supposedly should not be on the streets, it is just for the women to be out and about together.
Angie has recently returned from Germany and we thought it might be nice to be outdoors, seeings as it was such a lovely day. So 5 of us drove up to Salao, as we new the daffodil field would be in bloom. We carried on up from those fields and then chose a lovely secluded place to plant our bottoms and share a dish we all prepared. We had guacamole, hummus, roast chicken, some lovely focacia that Catrina's husband made and for dessert biscuits and chocolate salami (very popular in Portugal) awesome and easy recipe to make. It is so easy I am afraid I have not posted step by step pictures. But what I do enjoy is that is makes two quantities one for if you are expecting guests and one for the family.So to all the woman out there who are reading this post, I hope you have had a wonderful woman's day.
Salami de Chocolate Recipe
200g drinking chocolate, I found 80g of Green and Blacks cocoa a lot more chocolaty
200g sugar
2 eggs30g butter
1 pkt Marie biscuits (crushed)
Combine drinking chocolate, sugar, eggs and butter, work those nicely in togetherThen add the crushed Marie biscuits, bringing the mix together.
Take two pieces of wax paper and then halve the mixture.Lay one part of the mixture on the first piece of paper horizontally, you can form your sausage with a thick or narrow diameter. Then roll the paper around the mix, pressing it firmly together, then twist the paper ends closed and place in the fridge, I bet they will not be in there for long:) Cut into slices before serving.
Any extras like nibbed almonds or chopped walnuts can also be added.
