Cataplana Recipe by Chefu

chorizo

Turkey chorizo reduces fat while maintaining flavor.

white wine

🥗Healthier: vegetable broth

Vegetable broth adds depth without alcohol.

seafood

🥗Healthier: chicken

💰Cheaper: canned tuna

Canned tuna is affordable and still flavorful.

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

Canola oil is less expensive and neutral in flavor.

Heat olive oil in a cataplana or large pot over medium heat until shimmering.

Add chopped onion and garlic; sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Stir in diced bell pepper and cook for another 2-3 minutes.

Add sliced chorizo and cook until slightly crispy, about 4-5 minutes.

Incorporate diced tomatoes, white wine, and spices; simmer for 5 minutes.

Layer seafood on top of the mixture; cover and cook for 10-15 minutes until seafood is cooked through.
