Traditional at any Portuguese feast, Carne Espeto, is one of my most treasured culinary connections to the Portuguese culture. The Feast of the Blessed Sacrament is a long standing and continued tradition that the many gather raw meat and roast it over an open pit of coals at the church’s feast each year. This is a delicious dish!
This seasoning mix is a special blend of spices for making carne no espeto. Portuguese version of Shish Kebab or meat on a stick.
