Thank you for trying one of our recipes. Favorite at a Brazilian steakhouse in Dallas. Not sure if this is the exact recipe they use but it tastes very close. Great side for kabobs and steak. By SoccerNut. Caipirinha Rating: Unrated. Brazil's national cocktail is so refreshing and delicious! Ask your liquor store to order Cachaca for you if they don't stock it, there's no substitute. Inspiration and Ideas. Feijoada Brazilian Black Bean Stew. Very filling and satisfying meal for the family. Brazilian Cheese Bread Pao de Queijo. I am Brazilian and it tastes really authentic. Crunchy and delicious! Brazilian White Rice. Beijinho de Coco Coconut Little Kiss. Brazilian Passion Fruit Mousse Maracuja. Close Close Previous. Rating: Unrated. More Brazilian Recipes. This is my version of a traditional Brazilian black bean stew that maintains the rich smoky, flavors famous in Brazil. Additional meats, including sausage, may be added if desired. This is excellent served over brown rice. By L Ireland. Brazilian Lemonade Rating: Unrated. This recipe for 'lemonade' actually uses limes. It is best served immediately. By Jumala. This is how my Brazilian mom prepares pork ribs. Boiling the ribs with the seasonings ensures that the meat will remain moist and juicy, and that the flavors will fully penetrate the meat. I hope you like these as much as I always have! Serve with lime wedges, rice and a fresh green salad. My interpretation of Brazilian seafood stew or moqueca uses just fish, so I'm calling it the weeknight version. It's ready to serve in less than 30 minutes. Brazilian White Rice Rating: Unrated. White rice is the main side dish made in Brazil. This is the way my mom would make it and taught my sister and I. What makes this so different is that we fry it in oil with minced onion and garlic before adding water. You can also use part water, part chicken broth. The secret is to not let it overcook because it should come out loose and not sticky. By Nandabear. A refreshing side dish to pair with chicken, pork, or beef. By Kevin Marcelle. Fried Sweet Bananas Rating: Unrated. A very traditional breakfast or dessert in northeast Brazil, bananas or plantains are fried in butter and coated with cinnamon-sugar. Delicious with vanilla ice cream too. Brazilian Carrot Cake Rating: Unrated. A traditional favorite in my family, Brazilian carrot cake is very different from the American version. The popular cake is topped with homemade chocolate frosting, and perfect to serve with a glass of milk or tea. By CookingMama. Brazilian cheese bread is very easy to make, and features a chewy, cheesy, bready center, encased in a beautiful, thin, pastry crust. It also happens to be gluten free, thanks to tapioca flour, which is also responsible for the very unique texture. One extremely popular dish is pato no tucupi — roasted duck marinated in lemon juice, oil and garlic and topped with a sauce made from manioc juice extracts and jambu leaves. The food of north eastern Brazil is heavily influenced by African cuisine. In the south of Brazil , red meat features heavily in the cuisine, the churrasco Brazilian barbeque having originated here. Coxinha, a Brazilian chicken snack. Moqueca Capixaba. Pretty refreshing and definitely worth trying! Experience Brazil not only with your eyes but with all of your senses. Enjoy the variations in taste and fall in love with Brazil. Chimu Adventures offers tailor-made packages to South America. Click here for more information about Chimu. Brazilian cuisine - Wikipedia Originally produced by Brazilian slaves, it has now been turned into a delicacy. The dish is a stew that consists mainly of beans and meat, simmered with herbs and spices. It is generally made using black beans, but in the northeast region of Bahia it is made with kidney beans.

Fish is very important and is the base for stews and soups.

This whole banana pie is a hit in Brazil, mainly in the city of Rio de Janeiro. Almost all the ingredients are natural, except for the margarine. It is also made with whole grains, which contribute for a good health. It supplies a lot of energy and the bananas give an extra dose of potassium. That is why this pie is consumed by athletes and people who practice sports in general. Besides, it is simply delicious! By Cacau. My version of this national Brazilian black bean stew uses a variety of smoked meats and is topped with an orange breadcrumb mixture. Serve with white rice and greens to complete this traditional meal. By Chef John. Brazilian Rice Rating: Unrated. Wonderful original Brazilian rice! Great served with Brazilian filet mignon stroganoff. By Vanessa Pravecek. Brazilian Fish Stew Rating: Unrated. This super easy but hearty dish is full of flavor and absolutely delicious! It's a simplified version of a common Brazilian dish that I remember from my childhood and it's become a favorite even among my kids and I, even though we don't like fish! This can be made easily on the stovetop or in the slow cooker for a no-fail convenience meal. Use salmon in place of tilapia for a stronger fish flavor. Serve with hot rice or warm tortillas. By BellevueMama. I have not translated the name of this little Portuguese-Brazilian pastry because there is not an English equivalent, at least that I know. The translation would be 'good bite. It's very easy and quick to make. By Alessandra Kanawati.

    Menu Feijoada Pao de Quejo Moqueqa de Peixe Rice Brigadeiros (dessert) Guarana (beverage) Glossary Brigadeiros: A simple Brazilian chocolate candy, created in the 1940s and named after Brigadier Eduardo Gomes, whose shape is reminiscent of that of some varieties of chocolate truffles. It is a popular candy in Brazil and it is usually served at birthday parties. Gomes was Brazilian Air Force Brigadier. Later he ran unsuccessfully for the presidency in 1946 and 1950. This was a time of shortage of traditional imports such as nuts and fruits because of the war. But, at the same time, Nestle was introducing its brand of chocolate powder and condensed milk into the country. Churrasco: In Brazil, churrasco is the term for a barbecue (similar to the Argentine, Uruguayan, Paraguayan and Chilean asado) which originated in southern Brazil. Brazilian churrasco contains a variety of meats which may be cooked on a purpose-built "churrasqueira", a grill or barbecue, often with supports for spits or skewers. Portable "churrasqueiras" are similar to those used to prepare the Argentine, Paraguayan and Uruguayan asado, with a grill support, but many Brazilian "churrasqueiras" do not have grills, only the skewers above the embers. The meat may alternatively be cooked on large metal or wood skewers resting on a support or stuck into the ground and roasted with the embers of charcoal (wood may also be used, especially in the State of Rio Grande do Sul. Dende oil : Used in Brazilian and West African cooking palm or dende oil is made from the kernel of the palm fruit. The oil is thick and red-orange in color with a nutty flavor and high in saturated fat.

  • Taste Brazil - the World in One
    TASTE BRAZIL - THE WORLD IN ONE KITCHEN SPONSORED BY 1 STORIES So here we are, in the colourful world of Brazil, happy and unwashed from our 23-hour flight. A land of traditional charm and culinary creativity. It’s easy to be a tourist and traipse around with a cam- era and a smile. But truly, no travel memory is ever complete without stories. And so we set off to gather her stories, from her people, from her food. Together with the good folks from Sadia and SATS- BRF, we bring to you - Taste Brazil, From Our Kitchen To You. Tell me, how do you act around a chef whom you are meeting for THE the first time, but whose wise words and rise-to-fame story you have memorised like the alphabet because you are such a great CHEF’S fan of his? Flailing with excitement, we literally skipped into Mo- STORY: cotó, a casual restaurant in the north of São Paulo, a 50-min car ride from where we were. Out came Chef Rodrigo Oliveira, tower- ing above everybody else with his lanky frame. One of the most CHEF RODRIGO celebrated young chefs in Brazil, his accolades can be intimidat- OLIVEIRA ing to any fledgling restaurateur or chef. But for all the success he has today, you will find no airs, just humility and passion. 2 CARNE-DE-SOL ASSADA ESCONDIDINHO DE CARNE-SECA (SALT CURED BEEF) At Mocotó, ingredients are pared down to the basics, but blended with the intense flavours of Brazilian cooking and con- temporary concepts.

  • From the Humble to the Sublime: African Influences on Brazilian
    From the Humble to the Sublime: African Influences on Brazilian Cuisine Natalie Arsenault, Teresa Lozano Long Institute of Latin American Studies University of Texas at Austin Brazil’s national dish is the feijoada—a dish of slave-origins that can be found in all parts of Brazil, with each cook preparing, modifying, enhancing it according to her family’s likes and traditions, I first learned about the feijoada when I began to study Portuguese. It was described, in my book, as a black bean dish (thus the term feijoada, from the word for bean, feijão) cooked with dried beef, sausage, various parts of the pig (in particular, the ears, snout, feet, and tail), and whatever animal happens to run through the kitchen when the cook is preparing it. This fairly graphic description has stayed with me over the years, although after numerous trips to Brazil, I have not yet eaten a feijoada with unidentifiable animals/animal parts in it. It does include the rather humble parts of the pig, but those, of course, are very identifiable—you know when you’ve gotten a foot. The readily-accepted theory of the origin of the feijoada rests in Brazil’s colonial past, during its 300 years of slavery. The dish is commonly believed to have been created out of the resourcefulness of the slave cooks, who were given the left-over and unpalatable parts of meat, those that would not be acceptable at the master’s table. Those cooks threw the snouts, ears, and tails into a pot full of black beans and extracted every bit of flavor they could out of the little meat they had.
