couve-portuguesa

Non-PRO Portuguese to English Other Cooking / Culinary ingredients
I'm trying to make a Brasilian recipe and I doon't know what couve-portuguesa is. I understand that Cove is in the cabbage family but I am confused at exactly which vegetable it is.

Hi Cylena, I looked this up on Google images, and the picture looked like an ordinary cabbage to me, except maybe a little greener and kind of wrinkled. Maybe somebody knows what it is in English...I sure don't!

Couve-de-folhas
As couves-de-folhas (kale ou collards, em inglês) são uma forma de couve (Brassica oleracea, grupo Acephala) cujas folhas centrais não formam a típica "cabeça" do repolho. Considera-se que está mais próxima, em termos genéticos, da couve silvestre que deu origem a todas as variedades cultivares conhecidas. Inclui a couve-galega, a couve-tronchuda ou couve-portuguesa, as couves-ornamentais, entre outras. São especialmente utilizadas na culinária portuguesa e brasileira. (this is from babylon.com)
