Cabidela de Galinha
Chicken cabidela with blood, red-wine vinegar and parsley.

About Cabidela de Galinha
Cabidela de galinha pairs chicken with a blood-and-vinegar finish. Hélio Loureiro’s published recipe uses boneless chicken pieces, onion and garlic, with white rice served separately.
Red-wine vinegar brings acidity to the blood mixture. Black pepper and bay season the chicken, while olive oil, onion and garlic form the aromatic base. Parsley supplies the final herbal note.
The dish presents chicken pieces in their surrounding cooking liquid, with chopped parsley over the top. The separate white-rice accompaniment provides a plain cereal contrast to the richly flavoured chicken.
