Cachupa

Stews, Braises and Sauced Dishes

Cachupa is the national dish of Cape Verde, an archipelago nation off the coast of West Africa. It is a slow cooked stew built from corn, or hominy, beans, and fish or meat such as sausage, pork, beef, goat or chicken, often including the blood sausage morcela. Each island in Cape Verde has its own regional take on the dish, but two broad versions are recognized everywhere: cachupa rica, made with a richer mix of ingredients, and cachupa pobre, a simpler version.
