Spicy Rice

What is it?

Seasoned rice cooked with a Portuguese-style spice blend, this side comes as loose, fluffy grains with a golden colour and a mild savoury aroma. Paprika, garlic and herbs are the main notes, so it sits somewhere between plain steamed rice and the brand’s chips. Compared with the rest of Oporto’s sides, it’s the non-chip option that still fits the Portuguese theme. It’s usually paired with quarter chicken, pulled chicken or saucy mains, where the grains can soak up juices and chilli sauce.
