Cooking Brazil

Gastronomy

Rice, manioc flour and meat added to beans: this is the daily basis of Brazilian food. When cooked, it becomes feijoada, the national dish. In Rio, meat in a sauce is accompanied by black beans, rice, manioc flour, cabbage, and slices of orange. The cuisine of Salvador, on the other hand, will blow you away. Try moqueca, a dish of fish, shrimp, spiny lobster, or crab cooked in palm oil and coconut milk. Xinxin de galinha is a dish including chicken browned in the same oil, with peanuts, shrimp, cashew nuts, and coconut milk. Requeijão is a delicious cheese spread. Finish with quindim, a delicacy with eggs and coconut. Amazonian cuisine, which is tasty and original, is based on cooked manioc and fish from the river. As for meat, discover pato no tucupi (wild duck, garnished with a sauce based on fermented manioc juice). Banana, mango, watermelon, pineapple, orange, papaya, passion fruit and guava are the best known fruits, but also don't miss the lesser-known star fruit and Brazilian cherry, which you can taste during your stay in Brazil. Alcohol from sugar cane, cachaça or pinga, is drunk pure or mixed. With sugar, lime and the art of mixing, you get a caipirinha. With fruit juices, this is called a batida.
