Beans make it to dessert too

The story of Miguelitos has a date and a named creator.

Alice da Conceição de Magalhães Alves’s Miguelitos won the Concurso Doce Cabeceirense, whose result was announced at the Casa do Tempo on 18 May 2019. The municipal report describes a rolled preparation made with yellow beans, flour and Vinho Verde, filled with eggs and honey. The competition was part of the Mosteiro de Emoções programme. In February 2020, the municipality highlighted them again as the dessert for the Fim de Semana Gastronómico, alongside cozido as the main course. The sweet thus moved from the competition to the promotion of local food; the report does not confirm current availability.
