Cabidela identity Establish which preparation the name denotes and where the registered thing ends.
Defining preparation
Test identity using ingredients and their culinary roles.
Blood sauce role
A documented reference preparation combines chicken, rice, blood and vinegar; this supports a reference case rather than a universal recipe. [RTP recipe](https://media.rtp.pt/masterchef/cabidela/)
- Is animal blood incorporated into the sauce, and what evidence establishes that beyond the dish's colour or menu name? definition
- Which documented preparation supports identifying this batch as cabidela? provenance
Variant boundaries
Keep named preparations within the registry's existing granularity.
Rice and name boundary
Record arroz de cabidela and other supported preparations as variants without creating additional registry entries.
- Does this use of cabidela name the entire dish, its sauce or a specifically rice-based preparation? boundary
- Which differences are documented local variations, and which are adaptations requiring an explicit qualifier? definition
Meat, blood and acid Describe the ingredients that establish the dish's identity and sauce behaviour.
Animal ingredients
Connect the meat and blood to their actual sources.
Blood and meat traceability
Record meat and blood independently, including species and blood processing treatment; a published preparation explicitly uses pasteurised blood. [Unilever Food Solutions recipe](https://www.unileverfoodsolutions.pt/recipe/arroz-de-cabidela-joao-cunha-R0056511.html)
- What species, cuts and ingredient lots supplied the meat and blood, and is their relationship known? provenance
- What processing treatment and storage instructions are documented for the blood used? provenance
Acid and starch composition
Record the acidifying ingredient and the place of rice or other accompaniments.
Recipe proportions
Treat blood, vinegar, liquid and rice quantities as variant-specific observations rather than fixed identity thresholds.
- How much blood and acidifying ingredient were added relative to the batch yield? measurement
- Is rice cooked in the blood-containing liquid, served separately or absent, and what reference supports that arrangement? boundary
Blood sauce development Capture the preparation sequence that creates the finished meat and sauce.
Addition sequence
Locate blood and acid addition within the cooking history.
Blood addition event
Record mixing, timing and subsequent heating as separate observations.
- Were blood and acid mixed before addition, and at what stage were they incorporated into the meat or rice? provenance
- What time and temperature observations describe the dish after blood addition? measurement
Finished texture
Assess the sauce and solid ingredients against the selected preparation.
Sauce and solids endpoint
Distinguish sauce integration, meat tenderness and rice texture instead of reducing doneness to a single visual judgement.
- Is the sauce integrated or visibly clumped or separated, and does that match the documented variant? measurement
- Have the meat and any incorporated rice reached their intended texture without losing the specified sauce consistency? measurement
Batch handling and service Connect the blood-containing preparation to a defensible service decision.
Handling evidence
Track relevant ingredient and prepared-dish handling records.
Blood-to-service history
Assess records against an applicable food-handling procedure without deriving safety limits from a culinary recipe.
- What records cover blood receipt and storage, cooking after blood addition, and subsequent holding or cooling? provenance
- Does the available evidence meet the applicable procedure, or must the batch remain withheld pending assessment? action
Service quality
Determine whether the prepared batch still meets its intended serving condition.
Holding effects
Record changes in blood-sauce consistency and, where present, rice texture during holding or reheating.
- How have sauce fluidity, separation and any rice texture changed since cooking? measurement
- Should this batch be served now, held or reheated under a documented procedure, or rejected? action
Culinary context and disclosure Make claims about tradition and eater suitability traceable to this preparation.
Variant evidence
Separate documented culinary practice from unsupported authenticity claims.
Local preparation reference
Attach regional or household claims to a source describing the relevant cabidela preparation.
- Which source supports the claimed locality or tradition for this version? provenance
- Which meat, acid, seasoning and accompaniment choices differ from that reference? boundary
Ingredient disclosure
Translate the actual recipe into clear information for the intended eater.
Blood and recipe disclosure
Disclose blood and animal species explicitly and evaluate other constraints from the complete ingredient record.
- Are blood content, animal species and relevant ingredients in stock, seasonings and accompaniments explicitly recorded? provenance
- Does the verified ingredient record meet the eater's stated requirements, or is further clarification necessary before offering the dish? action
Evidence and external alignment What the world already says about this thing, gathered so the model can be checked against it.

Findings from the breadth pass, kept separate from the structural claims.

What it is Filled
Cabidela is a Portuguese dish of poultry or rabbit cooked with the animal's blood, usually mixed with vinegar, and often prepared with rice.
In scope
- Identification of the prepared dish and evidence supporting its name
- Meat, blood, acidifying ingredients and their roles
- Whether rice is cooked into the dish, served separately or absent
- Preparation history affecting the blood sauce and meat
- Batch condition, handling evidence and suitability for intended service
Out of scope
- Animal husbandry, slaughter and blood collection operations
- Blood, vinegar, rice and meat as independently catalogued materials
- Recipe texts as authored informational works
- Cooking equipment and restaurant operations
- General histories of Portuguese and other culinary traditions
Why it exists Filled
Enable an agent to recognise cabidela, distinguish its documented variants, assess a prepared batch and decide whether it can be served, held or further evaluated.
Distinguishing features Filled
- Confirm blood is incorporated into the cooking sauce; dark colour alone does not distinguish cabidela from other meat stews.
- Check the acidifying ingredient and its preparation role; a documented chicken version combines blood with vinegar. [RTP recipe](https://media.rtp.pt/masterchef/cabidela/)
- Distinguish the broader cabidela entry from arroz de cabidela by recording whether rice forms part of the preparation; do not silently make rice mandatory for every variant.
- Distinguish meat served in a blood-based sauce from blood sausage or a dish containing discrete pieces of cooked blood.
- Require variant evidence before treating a blood-free adaptation or a similarly named offal preparation as equivalent to the reference dish.
What robots and AI may and may not do Filled
Must not
- Serve cabidela to someone without disclosing that it contains blood.
- Use blood that was not collected and kept under food hygiene rules.
- Present the dish to people whose religion forbids eating blood as if it were acceptable to them.
- Mock the dish or the communities who eat it.
Only with a human decision
- Slaughtering poultry or rabbits to obtain blood for the dish.
May
- Explain cabidela as a Portuguese dish cooked with the animal's blood and vinegar.
- Tell diners plainly that the dish contains blood before they order or eat it.
Moral aspects Filled
- Eating blood is forbidden in several religions; undisclosed blood wrongs those diners.
- The dish depends on slaughter, which raises animal welfare questions.
Who is affected
- Diners with religious restrictions
- Poultry and rabbits
- Portuguese cooks and families
Owners Filled
Steward
The cook or food business that prepares it; food safety authorities set the rules for sale.
