O Diablo (the Devil's Pot - Macao)
- 6 to 7 pounds cooked meats (such as leftover roast turkey, roast pheasant, capons, roast beef, roast leg of lamb, pork or veal chops, roast pork, and perhaps some stewed meats)
- 3 tablespoons olive or vegetable oil
- 2 large onions, chopped
- 8 medium tomatoes, chopped
- 1 (32-ounce) jar mixed pickles, chopped
- Reserved juice from meats
- 3 pounds potatoes, peeled and quartered
- 18 eggs, hardboiled
- 6 tablespoons sugar
- 2 teaspoons powdered mustard
- Vinegar from pickles
- 1 cup white wine
- 3 cups rice
- Remove any bones from the meats and cut into 1-inch square pieces.
- Set aside.
- Heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat and saute the onion until slightly golden.
- Add the tomatoes and let cook until the liquid has evaporated.
- Add the pickles and the chopped meats.
- Mix well, cover, and cook over low heat for 10 minutes to blend flavors.
- Add reserved juices and enough water to barely cover meats.
- Place potatoes over meats, cover, and cook until potatoes are done (about 20 minutes).
- While O Diablo is cooking, peel the eggs and separate the yolks from the whites.
- Mash the whites with a fork and add to the pot.
- Mash the yolks and mix with the sugar and the powdered mustard.
- Add enough of the vinegar from the pickle jar to forma paste (about 1/2 cup).
- When the potatoes are done, thicken sauce in pot with the egg yolk mixture.
- Cook 5 minutes more.
- Add white wine; increase the heat and bring to a boil.
- Cook another 3 minutes.
- Remove from heat and let it set, covered, until dinner is served.
- Cook rice according to package directions.
- When ready, reheat O Diablo and serve with rice.
- Some prefer this dish with bread instead of rice to sop up the juices; either way, it is delicious.
- Prepare this dish in the morning so that the flavors will have melded by dinnertime.
- The leftovers of this dish will keep up to 2 weeks in the refrigerator.
