On the Road in the Azores: Alcatra

Ming heads for the islands on this very special episode of Simply Ming. Traveling to the Azorean island of Terceira, Ming cooks with celebrated local chef Eduardo Reis and learns the history of the very popular dish called Alcatra. Alcatra is baked in a traditional Azorean wood oven. Influenced by the Portuguese discoverers in the 15th century, this dish is made with fish or beef cooked slowly in a clay pot with bacon, onion, and local spices.
