The Genuine "CATAPLANA" seafood stew from Algarve, Portugal

white wine

🥗Healthier: vegetable broth

💰Cheaper: water + vinegar

Vegetable broth maintains flavor without alcohol.

clams

🥗Healthier: mussels

💰Cheaper: canned clams

Canned clams are more affordable and still provide a similar taste.

shrimp

🥗Healthier: chicken

💰Cheaper: tofu

Tofu offers a plant-based protein alternative.

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: canola oil

Canola oil is a budget-friendly substitute.

Heat the cataplana over medium heat.

Add half a large onion, half a large green pepper, half a large red pepper, and a large tomato, all thinly sliced.

Add slices of a large potato and season generously with salt and 1 teaspoon of red pepper powder (paprika).

Top with slices of garlic and then add the clams.

Place the fish in and arrange the prawns on top.

Pour white wine over the top and drizzle with olive oil.

Close the cataplana and cook over medium heat for 20 minutes.

Chop up a small bunch of cilantro (coriander) and add it to the pot with or without the cataplana.
