On Sunday morning, armed with baskets and baskets, and reinforced by donuts with olive oil, the participants of Spoon and Cook went to Mr. Álvaro Coelho's vegetable garden, near the Tôr, not knowing what they were going to harvest, cook, let alone eat …but with a lot of confidence.
D. Lurdes' donuts (or charingos) had already welcomed the participants of Spoon and Cook: fried in olive oil, with a touch of lemon and sprinkled with sugar and cinnamon, provided the right energy for the harvest in the master's garden Alvaro.
There, we picked peppers, acorns, oranges, melons and pomegranates. Sunday was sunny, which motivated many conversations, because without rain, there are no gardens.
in the kitchen of Thursday of the Tor, the culinary talent of Jesus Days it was already in possession of the sprouts from the garden and being used in a traditional stew of cabbage and beans with sweet potatoes, accompanied by pork.
Fans of forgotten food have turned to roasted peppers, acorns cooked with fennel, carrot salad, olive seasoning and orange juice. They finished with almond and bread pudding, pumpkin and coconut pudding and apple cake.
In between, and already with the presence of the Secretary of State for Cultural Heritage, who stopped by to learn about this initiative as part of the 365Algarve's programming, D. Lurdes presented everyone with blocks dedicated to the Forgotten Food Festival:
The cornmeal porridge
it was a forgotten dish
but currently
he is much preferred
Many years ago
it was poor food
the rich didn't eat them
thought it was noble
at this time of year
a lot was eaten
with the pork meat,
how well did that know
And the corns for Shrovetide
was the main course for all of us,
with a lot of pork
and some rice balls
It was also a forgotten dish
the sweet potato kitchen,
this could not be missing
everyone stuffed their belly
even indulge
the pot beans
it's also a forgotten dish,
when they were already stiff and had black eyes
just put it in the pan,
that was said and done!
