The prickly pear was the main ingredient of the showcooking that Odiana promoted, last Saturday, at Feira da Perdiz, which took place during the weekend in Martim Longo, Alcoutim municipality.
The association and the municipality of Alcoutim took advantage of the event to promote another culinary demonstration of the “Choose our Food” project and invited the chefs Vítor Ramos and Rui Conqueiro, from Hilton Vilamoura “As Cascatas Golf Resort & Spa”, to show how this «important endogenous resource of the territory» is increasingly used for desserts and in gourmet dishes.
The two guests made the dessert “Flavors and Aromas of Fig from India and its textures”, with “green fig cream, yellow fig mousse and, on top, red fig couli”.
«A real delight, which enchanted those present and delighted those with a sweet tooth with a traditional product made in a creative and innovative way. It should also be mentioned that this delicacy was included in the Hilton Vilamoura dessert menu for a month, with great acceptance by customers», according to Odiana.
«The showcooking carried out, in addition to promoting regional resources and products, also aim to raise awareness in the community for their use, in order to encourage the consumption of endogenous products. We are talking about products linked above all to local agricultural production, centuries-old traditions and indigenous resources. The final goal is, effectively, “Choose our Food”, paraphrasing, “Choose our Food, Choose our Products”, the products of Baixo Guadiana», concluded the association.
