A TOUCH OF SPICE<br />
Piri Piri<br />
This small hot pepper is dubbed the African devil. Portugal’s most<br />
famous spice dates back to the 15th century when it was brought over<br />
from Mozambique or Angola. Today, once it has been coated in chicken<br />
and grilled, it becomes Portugal's most exported dish - especially when<br />
served with French fries and a salad! But piri piri chicken is at its most<br />
delicious in the Algarve and, if you want to blend in with the locals, then<br />
you should always eat it with your hands.<br />
Cinnamon<br />
This prized spice is added to both soups and stews, as well as<br />
sobremesas (desserts). Cinnamon takes a central role in the delicious<br />
creaminess of the renowned pasteis de nata (Portuguese custard tart)<br />
and in the creamy rice pudding, arroz doce.<br />
Paprika<br />
Made from dried, ground red peppers that’s occasionally smoked for a<br />
distinctly sweet and earthy flavour, paprika is used liberally! It’s the base<br />
flavour in carne de porco à Alentejana - a classic surf and turf dish of<br />
marinated pork and sweet clams from the Alentejo region.<br />
Bay leaves<br />
Grown throughout the country and an ancient symbol for victory, almost<br />
every Portuguese stew features this warm and aromatic herb. Unlike<br />
most herbs, dried bay leaves are more potent than if they’re picked fresh.<br />
Coarse sea salt and garlic<br />
This powerful flavour combination can be found in several Portuguese<br />
fish dishes, from trout to the summer favourite of fresh grilled sardines.<br />
DINE AROUND AT DOMES LAKE ALGARVE<br />
Kick back and discover even more Mediterranean flavours at Domes Lake<br />
Algarve! Stay in the Haute Living Selection on a half board basis and you<br />
can benefit from the complimentary dine around experience, where you can<br />
eat from all three of the resort’s signature restaurants. These include Gustatio<br />
with its Portuguese comfort food with a Mediterranean twist, Topos with its<br />
authentic Greek dishes celebrating seafood, and the picturesque Makris On<br />
The Lake, which delivers a degustation menu of fresh, local, and organic<br />
ingredients and regional wine pairings, all from a floating deck.<br />
FARM-TO-FORK AT VILA VITA PARC<br />
If you’re seeking foodie activities, then you’re spoilt for choice at Vila Vita Parc!<br />
Cook a typical Algarvian cataplana with the resort’s chefs or go shopping<br />
with them at the local fish market before learning to prepare regional fish<br />
delicacies. Meanwhile, younger guests can enjoy making pizza with their very<br />
own Le Petit Chef class. Vila Vita Parc also boasts a farm-to-fork concept<br />
thanks to its own Herdade dos Grous farm and vineyard in the heart of<br />
Alentejo. You can visit and discover the regional food traditions such as olive<br />
oil production and organic farming, before tucking into rustic stews at its<br />
traditional restaurant.<br />
A 7 night holiday in the Algarve, staying at Domes Lake Algarve, starts from £1,159 per person.<br />
