7 Brazilian Recipes That Will Spice Up Your Week
Are you lacking excitement in your life? Would you like to experience a whole new world of flavor? Try these 7 recipes straight from Brasil and savor the flavors. You won't want to return to the norm again!
1. Feijoada
This dish is clasic here in Brasil. It's a stew made from black beans and meat served over rice. You can throw in any kind of meat you have handy-- pork, pig leg, an ear, literally anything. Don't let anything go to waste! You can-- and should-- use every part of the pig.
2. Stroganoff
You may have tried this Russian dish, but you've never tried it Brasilian-style. It's too simple to be believed-- just mix together ketchup and cream, and serve over chicken and rice. It's ridiculously easy-- and very tasty.
3. Cachorro Quente
This isn't your typical hot dog. Mix things up by adding tomato sauce, mashed potatoes, and corn.
4. Suco de Frutas
Now I know what you're thinking. Fruit juice is just for kids-- but that's not true. This isn't the apple juice you give to your child: this is a flavor sensation that will rock your nation. You can pop a goiaba in your blender with a little water and the result will kick the kool-aid man out of town. Or, if you have a maracuja or two, slice it open and scoop out the inside-- just don't forget to drain out the seeds!
5. Candica
For those with a sweet tooth, check out this traditional dessert. Made from white corn and cream, this treat is the equivalent of liquid snickerdoodles. Add in a spoonful of cinnamon and a bit of sugar and take to the nearest Festa Junina, where everyone can enjoy!
6. Brigadeiro
This popular snack is too easy to be true. Heat sweetened condensed milk (and a pat of butter) in a saucepan and stir in cocoa powder until you get a creamy pudding.
Twist: Brigadeiro Branco-- Prepare as above, but add milk powder instead of cocoa powder, and add in crushed-up oreos to give a crunchy texture. You can even spread in a pan and leave in the freezer for a cool summer treat.
7. The Missionary Special
And of course, for those with little-to-no time and even less patience, there is still hope. Here we have a wide selection of ramen (including 4 Cheese, Bacon, Italian Bolognese, and Broccoli with Cheese).
So in conclusion, we're eating well. We had an activity at the church (a Festa Junina, if that means anything to you) and everyone brought a ton of food. It was a ton of fun, and a family we're teaching really loved it.
Love y'all! I hope everyone has a good week. Let me know if you make anything delicious
