Preparation
- The most important part of this stew is the ham hock stew stock base it’s started with. This provides the dish with its “porky”, slightly smoky signature.
- Begin by placing the 3 ham hocks, 1 bay leaf and the chopped coriander in the pot, then add the can of chicken or beef stock and just just enough water to cover the ham hocks.
- Bring to a boil, then reduce to simmer for approximately 2-1/2 hours, covered to prevent evaporation. (Note that this is a stock-making process, so you don’t put all the ingredients in from the start, as they’ll obviously over-cook and become mush).
- Prepare the cut-up Portuguese Sausage by frying them until slightly browned, then place on paper towel to drain oil…
- Notice the rich brown color and the porky aroma! Fish out the now-tender ham hocks and place them on a cutting board, let them cool, then remove the meat from bone with a fork and knife and discard the bone…
- Now you begin throwing everything else into the pot of what you have now is essentially ham hock stock, enhanced by the bay leaves and coriander.
- Add the pulled ham hock meat (including the fat if you like it even more decadently tasty), kidney beans, chouriço, uncooked macaroni, potatoes, chopped onions, carrots, crushed garlic, the other bay leaf and stewed tomatoes (don’t add the tomato paste yet), then add enough water to cover, and let it simmer for about another hour, stirring occasionally.
- Finish it by stirring in the tomato paste.
- Adjust with salt and pepper to taste, then ring the bell for dinner and enjoy!
- Garnish each bowl with a sprig of coriander or parsley and serve with your favorite bread.

I agree with the comment regarding using parsley. I never tasted cilantro until I ate Mexican food. It taste soapy to me. Don’t care for it. My mother always used parsley.

Portuguese people dont used cilantro. Only Parsley. Yours taste is already ruin because of cilantro. The taste isn't right. Parsley is property and Portuguese culture only.
