Soot & SaffronRua do Almada, Porto

What fits in one pot.

Weeknight cooking from a third-floor kitchen. No restaurant, no classes. The only recipe I measure is the lentil pot.

A pot on the stove at night
Tuesday
Chickpeas, smoked paprika, one lemon.

The paprika goes in while the oil is still quiet, or it turns bitter. Lemon only at the table.

Friday
Rice and the last greens.

Last week it was turnip tops. They need salt earlier than spinach does.

Sunday
The lentil pot.

Brown lentils, saffron at the end, salt after that.
