Winter flavours, a suggestion from A Severa
Winter in Lisbon, with its warm colours and long nights, invites moments of warmth and flavour. At A Severa, the tradition of Portuguese gastronomy meets the magic of the season, offering a menu that warms the body and soul.
The codfish cataplana, a classic of Portuguese cuisine, is made up of slivers of
shredded cod, boiled chickpeas and crispy bacon. The combination of the flavours of the sea with the creaminess of the chickpeas and the smoky touch of the bacon creates a comforting dish full of flavour. To accompany it, we recommend a white wine from Alentejo, such as Antão Vaz, which emphasises the freshness of the fish and the lightness of this dish.
For meat lovers, pork secretos marinated in chimichurri sauce is the ideal dish, robust and flavoursome. Served with potatoes and sprouts, they stand out for their succulence and intense flavour. We recommend serving it with a red wine from the Dão region, such as a Touriga Nacional, which balances the fat of the meat and brings out the complex flavours of the chimichurri sauce.
Vegetarians will find refuge in the pumpkin risotto with grilled Portobello. In this dish, we find the perfect combination of the sweetness of the pumpkin and the earthy flavour of the Portobello mushroom. The creaminess of the rice and the smoky touch of the Parmesan cheese complete this symphony of flavours. An Alvarinho, with its floral and citrus notes, is the ideal partner for this dish.
With its walls full of history, A Severa offers an authentic and memorable experience in Lisbon. Book your table now and let yourself be enveloped by the flavours of Portuguese tradition!
