Dobrada (food)


 * The word "dobradinha" (from the Portuguese word "dobro" which means double) is also used in Portugal for the achievement known as double in association football.

Dobrada (in Portugal) or dobradinha (in Brazil) is a traditional Portuguese and Brazilian dish made from a cow's flat white stomach lining commonly flavoured with paprika, tomato paste, onion, garlic, clove and red pepper paste. Usually, decorated with green onion and mint. The adding of sliced carrots and butter beans are essential as well. White rice is often served alongside this dish, especially in the city of Porto where it is called tripas à moda do Porto.

Origin
The dish originated in Porto, in northern Portugal, where it is called dobrada or tripas—people from Porto are nicknamed tripeiros. It has been a traditional Portuguese dish since the 15th century, and became also traditional in Brazil.

In popular culture
