The Spanish have paella, and the Portuguese, especially those from the south, in Algarve, serve their guests the famous cataplana.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cataplana is a traditional Portuguese dish from Algarve, a region in southern Portugal. It is cooked in a special pot called cataplana.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Cataplana is a traditional Portuguese dish that is cooked in a two-part pan made of brass or aluminum. The lower part is flat and has handles, while the upper part is convex and has a clamp. When the pan is closed, the steam is trapped inside, which helps to cook the food evenly and imparts a rich, flavorful broth.

Historical records suggest that cataplana originated in the Algarve region of Portugal and was most likely designed by Arabs who inhabited the region in the Middle Ages. The Ria Formosa region, which is abundant in mussels, was once home to a traditional method of cooking mussels in a pot dug into the ground and covered with sand, over smoldering coals.
