Cachupa Rica image

My step son is from Cape Verde and he visits his grandmother whenever he can who lives in Brava. He always comes home with stories of how good the food is. Cachupa is a staple and many times made with only vegetables when meat or fish is not as available or too expensive. It is a peasant dish or can be for a Wedding celebration...
