Jaboticaba thirst quencher

Sun, 09 Feb 2003 20:07:21 -0500

Jaboticaba = Myriciaria cauliflora. This tree is from Brazil but grows in the subtropical and tropical parts of Australia. The fruit is like a dark small plum enclosing sweet pink juicy flesh. It is like a grape in texure and flavout. Look for firm, shiny fruits. These are very rich in Vitamin C. -- posted by Missy Wombat

Brazilian Orange Rice

Tue, 01 Jun 2004 19:59:34 -0400

This is a favorite with fish or chicken, an easy, mild rice with a unique flavor. You can use chopped Brazil nuts to be authentic, but since I really don't like them, I use pine nuts. -- posted by EdsGirlAngie

Quentão (Portugese for "big heat") is a traditional drink for the Brazilian Festa Junina, a Catholic celebration of saints John, Paul and Anthony. It will definitely help keep your toes warm this winter. From Houston's Fogo de Chao as published in our local paper. -- posted by Molly53

Brazilian Garlic Rice

Fri, 25 Feb 2005 15:02:02 -0500

This is delicious when you want a nutty, garlicky rice side dish. It complements chicken, pork, and fish very nicely and is traditionally served with a sprinkling of hot sauce. If you can find authentic molho apimentado (hot sauce madde with bird chiles), all the better! -- posted by EdsGirlAngie

Easy Flan

Wed, 16 Mar 2005 20:00:09 -0500

Here's a simple recipe that my mom's used for years. She picked it up somewhere in South America (either in Peru or Brazil). It's fast, easy and very tasty. The cinnamon makes all the difference. Using a tube pan makes it bake more evenly and more quickly and makes for a prettier presentation. -- posted by Susan #2

Brazilian Cheese Puffs

Fri, 30 Sep 2005 12:11:35 -0400

i love these cheese puffs. they are really wonderful with drinks and gluten free to boot - something i can offer a coeliac friend so they don't feel left out like they normally do. however, i've found that everyone i've offered them to loves them. i even made them when i went to london, and now my friend there can't stop eating them (or making them either). they are really cheesey and have a great chewy texture. tapioca flour is easily obtainable from asian grocery stores and the other items are pantry staples. -- posted by whisks

Light Coconut Rice

Mon, 23 Jan 2006 21:15:03 -0500

I had coconut rice at The Rum Jungle in Las Vegas a few years ago and I've been trying to duplicate it ever since. I still haven't gotten it quite like theirs, but I've made it enough times to figure out what works best. Most recipes use coconut milk, but I felt like it made the rice too sticky and heavy, so I use coconut water. You can usually find this with other exotic fruit juices such as guava and mango and it comes in a can with a pop top like soda. It also usually contains pulp (or "jelly"); this adds a nice flavor. -- posted by Ally928

Rumi's Black Bean and Mango Soup

Mon, 18 Sep 2006 23:43:27 -0400

My friend Richard passed this along to me. I haven't tried it yet, but it looks yummy It originally comes from Vegetarian Times. A Brazilian recipe. Steam some Swiss chard while the stew is simmering and serve with warmed flour tortillas. -- posted by dicentra

Sun, 29 Oct 2006 13:55:40 -0500

Brazilian Wild Rice Blend

Mon, 22 Jan 2007 21:39:34 -0500

I got this off a package of Lundberg gourmet whole grain rice mix. I have changed the recipe slightly. I think this would also be good with a little cumin added. -- posted by Sharon123

Cashew Cookies

Sun, 22 Apr 2007 15:37:19 -0400

Cornstarch is one of the secret ingredients behind this traditional crumbly Brazilian cookie. Ground cashews are the other, contributing their distinct brand of richness and nutty sweetness. Courtesy Gourmet Magazine. -- posted by Sandi (From CA)

Campanha BBQ Sauce

Thu, 12 Jul 2007 22:40:52 -0400

This is the famous Brazilian "Molho à Campanha", or literaly "Sauce a la campanha". It is always present in brazilian-style barbecues. A great sauce to be used on grilled meat, either bovine or fowl. Side-dishes, such as french fries or rice, could also enjoy the added flavour. -- posted by mrJPJ

Caipirinha

Tue, 31 Jul 2007 15:22:42 -0400

Caipirinha is the national drink of Brazil. The drink is made with cachaça (pronounced - kuh-sha-suh). It is technically a brandy and a member of the aguardente family. There is an old adage in Brazil: "quanto pior a cachaça, melhor a caipirinha" the worse the cachaça, the better the caipirinha. The name caipirinha is derived from the Portuguese word caipira (hick, hayseed, country bumpkin, rube, etc.) coupled with the -inha suffix (a diminutive denoting little or small) and can be roughly translated as little hick, little hayseed, little country bumpkin, little rube, etc., etc. Poor mans drink or not, cachaça has become an integral part of Brazilian culture and its significance ranks right up there with soccer/football (futebol), carnival and samba as Brazilian national icons. The Brazilians like it sweet.... VERY sweet. In Brazil, the very best caipirinhas are made with "limões gallegos" what in the U.S. is often referred to as a key lime. Can also be made by the pitcher! -- posted by NcMysteryShopper

Brazilian Black Bean Soup

Wed, 05 Sep 2007 20:44:18 -0400

I have served this recipe as soon as its cooked, as leftovers the next day, and even out of the freezer. It is extremely versatile - for brunch with tortillas, dinner with cornbread, or a soup and salad lunch. I always get tons of compliments. When I reheat, I re-season a bit and it also tends to thicken up over time. From one of the Moosewood cookbooks. -- posted by jerrilyn

Chocolate Bonbons (Brigadeiros) - Brazil

This from "Cuisines of Portuguese Encounters", in which the author gives recipes she had during travelling thru Portugal and its former colonies. This is a Brazilian recipe, named for a famous Brazilian Air Force Commander in the 1940's. He was a chocoholic. Often served at birthday parties and other festivities. I haven't made it yet. -- posted by Debbie R.

Mango and Black Bean Stew

Sun, 28 Jun 2009 13:26:19 -0400

This recipe is the only vegetarian dish I've been able to get my family to enjoy - and they really enjoyed it! Since sweet potatoes are so hard to chop up raw, I go ahead and boil them ahead of time until they're just tender enough that I don't need a chainsaw to get through them. Non-vegetarians can feel free to add 1/8 pound chopped sausage and/or ham with the onion in the first step. -- posted by Alexander Mar
