Falmouth Public SchoolsA Community Committed to Excellence: Every Student. Every Day.

Our first Clipper Community collaboration dish features a recipe from our head custodian at Teaticket Elementary School, Kevin Pimental, and his father’s Azorean Jagacida recipe. Mr. Pimental has been working for Falmouth Public Schools for 26 years and has five grandkids currently in our schools. You can find him every school day in the lunchroom making sure the students have a smile on their faces and food in their bellies-not on the floor.

Mr. Pimental learned to make Jag from his father with traditional Azorean ingredients including pork linguica and peas. He makes it a few times each month of the year and you can be sure it has a place on the table at every cookout in the summertime. His favorite memory of eating Jag is as a kid on the weekends with the smell of fresh homemade bread. We are excited to share Mr. Pimental’s Jag recipe with our whole district for hot lunch on Tuesday, January 27th. This pork linguica, pea, and rice jagacida will be served with a garden salad, a fresh orange, and our Harvest of the Month apple tart featuring local cider from Carlson’s Orchard.

The most unusual thing Mr. Pimental has ever eaten- frog legs- adventurous indeed Mr. Pimental. Thank you for sharing your recipe with us and a piece of what makes our Falmouth Clipper community home for you.
