Fado singer Mónica Triga and her mother make ‘wild rabbit’ stew, a recipe Mónica learnt from her Portuguese granddad. Mónica’s mother left the Portuguese dictatorship in 1965 for the Netherlands. Mónica talks and sings – in fados full of love and melancholy – about her grandfather’s simple, honest life.
