Trinchado
in TastePortuguese / South African Style Beef
I first tried this dish during the early 1980s at a Portuguese restaurant in a small town south of Johannesburg. Believed to have been introduced to the country by Portuguese speakers from neighbouring Angola and Mozambique, Trinchado (means 'carved' in English) is a rich, thick stew of melt-in-your-mouth beef laden with onions, garlic, red wine, black olives and fiery red piri-piri chillies. It's a welcome change from your typical beef stew or beef Bourguignon and is traditionally served with crusty bread or thinly sliced chips.
