feijoada - a kind of bean stew with several meats and sausages...hearty and yummy.
I'd tell you how it's made but I doubt you'd be able to get the right ingredients for it.

Not healthy though

Bacalhau com Grão - Cod with Chick Peas. This one is easy if you can get a hand on salted cod. Basically just boil the ready prepared salted cod (having removed any bones first), and separately boil chick peas and potatoes, and separately the green veg of your choice (I use broccoli), and serve, covered in lashings of minced onion and parsley, and copious amounts of olive oil and vinegar. Delicious. I imagine this recipe is a bit healthier.

These are both Portuguese. Of course...what else?

Whether we write or speak or do but look
We are ever unapparent. What we are
Cannot be transfused into word or book.
Our soul from us is infinitely far.
However much we give our thoughts the will
To be our soul and gesture it abroad,
Our hearts are incommunicable still.
In what we show ourselves we are ignored.
The abyss from soul to soul cannot be bridged
By any skill of thought or trick of seeming.
Unto our very selves we are abridged
When we would utter to our thought our being.
We are our dreams of ourselves, souls by gleams,
And each to each other dreams of others' dreams.

Fernando Pessoa, 1918
