Cachupa frita

Cachupa is a famous dish from the Cape Verde islands, West Africa. This slow cooked stew of corn (hominy), beans, and fish or meat (sausage, beef, goat, or chicken) is often referred to as the country's national dish.[1] Each island has its own regional variation. It is a hearty dish, and may even be served reheated at breakfast.

The version of the recipe called "Cachupa Rica" tends to have more ingredients than the simpler, "Cachupa Pobre".

[edit] Cachupa frita

When cachupa leftovers are reheated on the next morning, the resulting dish is called cachupa frita or cachupa refogada, meaning "fried cachupa". This dish may be served as breakfast with a fried egg and a fried local sausage (linguiça).[2][3]
