While bacalao may not be the first thing that comes to mind when planning a trip to Rhode Island, a Newport hotel is trying to change that with a week's worth of Portuguese food and wine, aimed at promoting the heritage of the state's large population of Portuguese descendants.
The inaugural New Portugal Food and Wine Week, hosted by the Castle Hill Inn, March 7 to 14, centers around a four-course meal created by George Mendes, the owner of Aldea restaurant in New York, and Karsten Hart, Castle Hill's executive chef.
Mr. Mendes, whose cooking is inspired by his family's Portuguese heritage and the culinary traditions of the Iberian Peninsula, will be on hand to prepare the first meal, on Friday, March 7, to be paired with wines selected by Bartholomew Broadbent, whose Broadbent Selections specializes in importing port, Madeira and other wines from Portugal.
The meal and pairings will be offered on their own throughout the week, along with wine tastings and other events. Or it can be purchased as part of a "dine and stay" package, which includes a one-night stay in the late-19th-century Narragansett Bay mansion, the New Portugal dinner and breakfast and afternoon tea, starting at $590.
The menu features dishes with a mix of traditional and contemporary cuisine: croquettes de bacalhau (salted cod fritters); shrimp alhinho (with smoked baby beets and vanilla); arroz de polvo (octopus rice), pork and c;ams in a smoked seaweed vinho verde broth; and almond sweet bread with Madeira and gooseberries.
