Valittu Algarve Paikallisen asiantuntijan valitsemana, esittelemme oppaamme 'Portugalin ruoka - Reseptit & vinkit'.
Olemme johtava matkaopas, joka on erikoistunut Algarven alueeseen Portugalissa. Algarve tunnetaan kauniista rannoistaan, aurinkoisesta ilmastostaan ja herkullisesta ruoastaan. Portugali on kuuluisa monipuolisesta ja maittavasta ruokakulttuuristaan. Useimmat portugalilaiset ruoat perustuvat tuoreisiin kala- ja äyriäisiin, oliiveihin, oliiviöljyyn, tuoreisiin yrtteihin ja erilaisiin mausteisiin. Yksi kuuluisista ruokalajeista on bacalhau eli suolattu ja kuivattu turska, jota valmistetaan monin eri tavoin. Caldo verde on toinen suosittu ruokalaji, joka on perinteinen kaalikeitto viipaloidulla chorizolla. Makeiden herkkujen ystäville Portugalin kuuluisa leivos, pastel de nata, on ehdottomasti maistamisen arvoinen. Lisäksi Portugalissa kannattaa maistaa paikallisia juustoja, erityisesti vuohenjuustoa. Tutustu resepteihimme ja vinkkeihimme, ja luo kotikeittiössäsi aitoa portugalilaista makumaailmaa!
