How to Cook dishes from Brazil
Brazil is a large country (the 5th largest in terms of geographical area)
with many different regions. Brazilian cuisine reflects these facts, as well as the country's diverse
population, and you can find recipes influenced by
African cuisine,
German cuisine,
Italian cuisine,
Japanese cuisine,
Lebanese cuisine,
Polish cuisine,
Portuguese cuisine,
Spanish cuisine,
Syrian cuisine,
and native American cooking.
Some popular Brazilian recipes include:
- 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.

Thiago is a master craftsman, serving up fresh and original dishes from one of the richest natural larders in the world. -- Michael Palin A groundbreaking exploration of outstanding modern Brazilian cuisine, with 100+ recipes. Brazil is a vast country with a cornucopia of fabulous cuisines and a wealth of early ethnic influences that combine native Indian, Portuguese and African flavors. Immigrants from Germany, Italy, Syria, Lebanon and Japan added their favorite dishes. Brazil is also a country of many indigenous traditions. Five regions, 26 distinct states and a wave of young, innovative chefs with global experience have created one of the most exciting cuisines in the world -- vibrant, gutsy and flavorful. Just in time for the FIFA 2014 World Cup in Brazil and the 2016 Olympics that follow there, this exciting cookbook by two acclaimed chefs explores the best of Brazilian food and its traditions. Along with three award-winning guest chefs, Castanho and Bianchi selected more than 100 recipes that adventurous cooks will want to try at home, even if they have never been to Brazil. Three guest chefs also contribute their favorites: - Roberta Sudbrack, voted best chef in Rio five times, and whose self-named restaurant is one of the top 100 in the world, takes everyday Brazilian ingredients to sophisticated heights, such as smoked okra with shrimp.
- Rodrigo Oliveira, a young award-winning chef whose restaurant, Mocoto, is garnering much attention, uses traditional ingredients from the Backlands of Brazil to create standout dishes, such as Baiao-de-dois (rice, beans, cheese, Brazilian jerked beef, sausage and bacon).
- Felipe Rameh, named Chef of the Year by Brazilian magazine guide Veja BH, uses what he calls his state's "best products": palm hearts, cachaca (Minas sugarcane spirit), Brazilian 'doce de leite' (caramelized milk), and pork.
The stunning photographs shot on location make the book a visual as well as culinary feast. If readers have not been to Brazil, they will soon want to go. |
