This roasted tofu with cabbage and crispy bread crumble is THE perfect holiday dinner dish. It is so delicious and was actually my Christmas dinner dish. As it is packed with Portuguese flavors it really reminds me of traditional Portuguese holiday dishes, which makes it the ideal Christmas recipe for me.
Watch how to make this recipe, right here:
What can I use to replace the Portuguese cornbread or “broa de milho”?
The Portuguese cornbread is a traditional bread made with cornflour, with a thick and crunchy crust and a slightly moist golden inside. It has nothing to do with the well known sweet cornbread. It is salty but slightly sweet at the same time, and I would dare to say this is my favorite Portuguese bread. And I have to be honest, during cold times there’s nothing better than eating traditional and local foods, so this is why I couldn’t leave this bread out of this dish. If you can’t find cornbread you could substitute it with any crusty rustic whole-grain bread. For best results, you want to use a dense bread with a thick and crunchy crust. Or you could also try to bake a traditional Portuguese cornbread at home. I have to be honest, I’ve never tried to bake a cornbread before but these two recipes seem like really good ones:
