How to Cook dishes from Brazil

• Barreado - Boiled meat. It is eaten in the South of Brazil, often by placing the meat in ceramic pans, putting them under the soil, and using the sun's heat to cook.
  
  
• Churrasco - The Brazilian version of barbecue. A variety of meats, often on skewers, are cooked on a grill (churrasqueira).
  
  
• Empadas - Pastry pies with various fillings, often eaten as fast food. Common fillings include beef, cheeese, chicken, palmito (heart of palm) and shrimp. Pieces of olive are generally mixed into the filling.
  
  
• Feijão com arroz - White rice with beans (black beans are popular in Rio de Janeiro).
  
  
• Feijoada - A stew made from slowing cooking black turtle beans and meat. The meats used include salted pork and beef, bacon, smoked pork ribs, sausage and jerked beef. It is sometimes considered Brazil's national dish, and is particular popular in Rio de Janeiro. It is traditionally served with rice, refined collar greens, roasted cassava flour, and an orange. Other side dishes may also be provided, and hot pepper sauce is used as a condiment.
  
  
• Moqueca - A seafood stew containing onions, tomatoes, cilantro, chili pepper, and garlic, as well as fish.
  
  
• Picadinho de Jacaré - This is made from alligator meat. It is popular in Northern Brazil (where dishes influenced by indigenous cuisine tend to predominate).
  
  
• Vatapá - This is a creamy paste made from bread, coconut milk, palm oil and shrimp (sometimes chicken, tuna, or turkey may be substituted for shrimp). It tends to be eaten in the North and Northeast of the country, where it is eaten with acarajé (black-eyed peas formed into a ball or deep-fried), or sometimes with white rice.
