Arroz de safio

This traditional Portuguese dish consists of rice and sliced conger eel. It's mainly associated with the Algarve region. Other ingredients for the dish typically include onions, garlic, tomatoes, white wine, parsley, bay leaves, coriander, and olive oil.


The combination of vegetables and seasonings is cooked in olive oil with the conger eel slices added to the pot in the end. When it’s done, the fish should be removed, and the rice added to the mix. Before serving, the slices of eel are mixed with the rice and sprinkled with fresh coriander or chopped parsley.
