Do you know the seasoning called "massa"? The official name is Massa de Pimentaon, a traditional seasoning from southern Portugal made from paprika and salt. In Japan, it's as popular as soy sauce.

This massa is also available in KALDI. The price is 420 yen (tax included) with 120g (4.23oz) in a bottle.


Ingredients are Portuguese paprika, salt and apple cider vinegar. It's very salty, so it's not suitable for eating alone.



This time, I challenged "Massa's pork saute" from the recipe on the official website. Simply apply massa to both sides of the pork loin, let it sit in the refrigerator for about an hour, and bake it in a frying pan. In addition to this, recipes such as pasta, soup, and snacks were posted.




Pork saute that demonstrates the true value of Massa because it is simple. The sweet and sour taste of paprika that spreads as you chew enhances the taste of the meat. Paprika itself is a familiar vegetable, but it is fresh that it becomes the main character of the taste! The refreshing flavor that goes through your nose is irresistible.



Massa alone is delicious enough, but since it's simple, it seems interesting to add your favorite spices and seasonings. By all means when you want to cook something different than usual without increasing the number of steps!
