The Portuguese sandwich Francesinha was born in Porto, gained national fame and is now beginning to delight foreign tourists. A little more and it will end up becoming one of the most successful exports in Portugal. 🙂 And it all started with the talented hands of Daniel David Silva, in the 50s of the last century.
The idea was to copy the famous French croque monsieur but adapt it to Portuguese tastes. Thus was invented Francesinha à moda do Porto, which had its first appearance in the restaurant “A Regaleira“. From there to becoming a national symbol was a small step.
The big secret to preparing it is in the sauce. And let’s be honest: all sauces from the most famous restaurants are secret. But you can recreate it in your home until you reach perfection. 🙂 Learn how to make Porto-style Francesinha sandwich with this original and old recipe.
