The bacon and dates in this simple yet elegant appetizer are wonderful together! My cousin whose husband was stationed in Portugal served these to rave reviews and so have I for 40 years! They are as easy as pie with only 2 ingredients and quick preparation time using round toothpicks.

Portuguese Steamed Clams

Submitted by: Star Pooley 
Being of Portuguese decent and raised in Rhode Island along the Eastern seaboard, this recipe is a wonderful combination of my two heritages. If desired serve with a small cup of melted butter for dipping clams and don't forget a fresh loaf of warm, crusty bread!!! Note: If the clams seem sandy, soak them for a couple of hours or overnight in the refrigerator in salted water with a bit of vinegar, cornmeal, and cayenne pepper.

I merged the best of two family recipes, then fiddled a bit. Pretty easy. Very spicy if you use hot Portuguese sausage. Both the sausage(chourico or linguica) and jarred peppers (Pimenta Moida) are available online if you don't have a Portuguese market in your town.

Portuguese Bread French Toast

Submitted by: jessica 
This yummy toast is baked in the over rather than on top of it and it 's wonderful. Portuguese sweet bread lines the baking dish. The milk, egg and fragrant spice mixture is poured on top, and then the whole delicious thing is baked until a custard sets.
