Cachupa (Portuguese pronunciation: [kɐˈʃupɐ], Cape Verdean Creole, Badiu: Kachupa) is a famous dish from the Cape Verde islands, West Africa. This slow cooked stew of corn (hominy), beans, cassava, sweet potato, fish or meat (sausage, beef, goat or chicken) is often referred to as the country's national dish.[1] Each island has its own regional variation. The version of the recipe called cachupa rica tends to have more ingredients than the simpler, cachupa pobre.

Cachupa leftovers are often re-fried, the resulting dish being called cachupa frita, cachupa guisada or cachupa refogada, meaning "fried cachupa". This dish may be served for breakfast with a fried egg and a fried local sausage (linguiça) or fried mackerel.[2][3]

Legacy
