26 Oct. 2019

Faro


POST CONFERENCE ACTIVITY

 

“You can make maize porridge with whatever you want”: this is a sentence that is heard frequently in the Algarve and that explains the versatility of “papas de milho” or maize porridge, also known as “xarém” or “xerém”, a word of Arabic origin meaning “ground maize”. Everything is possible from plain porridge to porridge with sardines, with cockles, with clams, just with fried bread, with chickpeas, with shellfish, or with honey. There are many possible variations, depending mainly on the season, produce availability, a family’s habits and the meal for which the dish is intended. In this culinary experience, you will learn to ‘marry’ maize porridge with cockles and prawns.

Tertúlia Algarvia | Algarve Cooking Vacations

Tertúlia Algarvia represents the fulfillment of a dream of a group of friends who, in 2013, opened their first venue to the public. In addition to providing traditional meals, the space, located in the historic center of Faro, offers cooking classes and show cooking, craft workshops, business meetings, and exhibitions, among other experiences. In addition to those activities, Tertúlia Algarvia also organizes initiatives in other places, such as catering services, cooking classes, and show cooking.

The Algarve Cooking Vacations project consists of a culinary holiday program of three to four day duration, during which participants will learn how to make various Algarvian recipes, such as cataplana of fish and shellfish; octopus appetizers; bivalves xarém (maize porridge); carob bread; and jam.

Each cooking class will be preceded by one or more complementary activities, such as: a visit to an olive oil press; a visit to a plantation of biological herbs; a visit to a greenhouse; catching shellfish with a shellfish man; a visit to a processing plant for carob seeds in flour; visits to local markets; a pottery class; a visit to the historical centre of Faro; a visit to a cauldron, where artisan cataplanas are produced.
