• 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.

Brazil: A Culinary Journey (Hippocrene Cookbook Library) By Cherie Hamilton Brand: Hippocrene Books Hardcover (205 pages) List Price: $24.95* Lowest New Price: $48.60* Lowest Used Price: $2.00* *(As of 03:27 Pacific 25 Sep 2018 More Info) Click Here Used Book in Good Condition Product Description: More than a cookbook, Brazil: A Culinary Journey explains how Amerindian, European, and African contributions have come together to form modern Brazilian cookery. The indigenous inhabitants contributed products native to the land, such as corn, cassava, and fish. The Portuguese settlers incorporated native techniques and ingredients, and introduced Portuguese staples, including sausages, olive oil, and wine. The culinary traditions were further fused with the introduction of such ingredients as palm oil and okra brought with African slaves in the twentieth century. European immigration yielded pasta and German pastries. The largest nation in South America, Brazil is home to vast rain forests, pristine tropical beaches, the Amazon River, and one of the region's most interesting cuisines. The recipes presented in Brazil: A Culinary Journey provide a glimpse into the surprisingly diverse repertoire of Brazilian cooking, from the heavily African-influenced cuisine of the Northeast to the Southern cookery, which has been shaped by European immigration. More than 130 recipes range from Feijoada, Brazil's national dish of beans, rice, and various meats (in its many regional variations), to lesser-known dishes, such as Shrimp and Bread Pudding, Crab Soup, and Banana Brittle. Complete with b/w illustrations, photographs, and maps.
