Arroz de cabidela is a Portuguese dish of chicken and rice finished with blood and vinegar, which turns the rice a deep reddish brown. It comes from the Minho region in the north of Portugal and has been recorded in writing there since the sixteenth century. The blood is the dish, and there is no way to make cabidela without it. Traditionally the bird's own blood is collected at slaughter and mixed immediately with vinegar, which stops it clotting; it goes into the pot at the very end, off the heat, because boiling it would make it grainy. This is a nose-to-tail practice found across many older food cultures, and Portugal is one of the places where it survives in a named, everyday dish rather than as a curiosity. Two notes about this version. It uses pig's blood rather than chicken blood, which is a common substitution outside a farm setting and is what is generally available. And the source names a specific brand of hot sauce, which has been described generically here. The dish is not African. It is filed under Worldwide Recipes with its URL unchanged. Portugal's colonial reach did carry cabidela to Angola, Mozambique, Cape Verde and Goa, where local versions exist, but the source describes the Portuguese original.

Cook the rice in the water for 15 to 20 minutes, using a little more water if you prefer it softer.
Take the rice off the heat, then mix the blood and vinegar through it. Do this off the heat, blood cooked at a rolling boil turns grainy. Set aside.
Soften the onions and garlic in the lard in a large pan.
Put in the chicken and brown it well, then pour over the wine and hot sauce.
Cover and cook gently for about 30 minutes, or until the juices run clear.
Once the chicken is done, fold the rice and blood mixture through and cook for a further 5 to 10 minutes, just until heated through.
Taste for salt and adjust the hot sauce.
Scatter with coriander and serve. Traditionally the chicken is mixed into the blood and rice rather than served on top.
