A thick porridge of maize flour and pork blood cooked with offal, chourica and cured meats. The Minho's defining winter comfort dish, eaten on Sunday mornings at tascas across Braga.
Sarrabulho is one of the oldest surviving dishes of the Minho, documented in monastery records from the 17th century as a way to use the full pig after the November slaughter. The thick corn-flour base absorbs the blood from the fresh slaughter, producing a dark, iron-rich porridge. The dish is made at Bisaro-pig slaughter time (November to January) but is served year-round at Braga tascas. Cruz Sobral and Restaurante Tia Isabel are the two custodian addresses, both making it from scratch on Saturdays with fresh Bisaro blood from farms north of the city.
