Assario branco

From WikiMD's Wellness Encyclopedia

Assario Branco is a traditional Portuguese dish, known for its unique blend of flavors and ingredients. It is a type of roast that is typically prepared with white meat, hence the name 'Branco' which translates to 'white' in English.

Ingredients[edit | edit source]

The main ingredient in Assario Branco is chicken, although it can also be prepared with other types of white meat such as turkey or rabbit. The meat is marinated in a mixture of white wine, garlic, bay leaves, salt, and pepper before being roasted.

Preparation[edit | edit source]

The preparation of Assario Branco involves marinating the meat for several hours, or even overnight, to allow the flavors to fully penetrate. The meat is then roasted in a hot oven until it is golden brown and crispy. The marinade is often used to baste the meat during cooking, adding to the depth of flavor.

Serving[edit | edit source]

Assario Branco is typically served with potatoes and vegetables, which are often roasted alongside the meat. It is also commonly accompanied by a glass of white wine, which complements the flavors of the dish.

Cultural Significance[edit | edit source]

Assario Branco is a popular dish in Portugal, particularly in the regions of Alentejo and Algarve. It is often served at family gatherings and celebrations, and is considered a staple of Portuguese cuisine.
