Peixinhos da horta
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Peixinhos da horta ([pɐjˈʃĩɲuʒ ðɐ ˈɔɾtɐ]) is a traditional dish in Portuguese cuisine. The name of the dish is literally translated as "little fish from the vegetable garden", as it resembles small pieces of colorful fish.[1] It was introduced to Japan by Portuguese sailors Antonio da Mota and Francisco Zeimoto in the sixteenth century.[2][3][4] The dish later gave rise to tempura, a typical Japanese dish.[5][6]
