“Cá se fazem cuscos” – Bragança’s Couscous cooking workshop
28 Jul. 2018
Palácios, Bragança
Within the “Lombada” – Festival of Music and Tradition, it will be this workshop of “cuscos”, or the couscous from Bragança:
To get to know and participate in the cycle of cereal harvest, we’ll go to the village of Palácios, remembering the tradition of harvesting and knitting, and during the afternoon we make the couscous “transmontano” (from Bragança), using the wheat flour and bread buns. At night, we complete the cycle, tasting delicious dishes based on this hidden treasure of the cuisine “Transmontana”.
The “gastronomic weekend” programs will combine several activities, such as:
1. Guided visit to a water mill, demonstrating its operation;
2. Preparation and confection of different couscous recipes in the traditional way;
3. Dinner with couscous in one of the typical local restaurants;
4. Visit to the Interpretive Center of the Ceramics of Pinela;
5. Participation in a traditional harvest and hammering.
