Feijoada - The Real One

Wed, 02 Oct 2002 21:44:24 -0400

This recipe is the real Brazilian Feijoada. It is like my mother does it, but she spends at least 8 hours cooking it (The secret she doesn't tell me). It can have some differences in other places of Brazil (this is the Southern style). You can keep the fat if you want it more 'creamy'. Some like it on the next day (keep on the refrigerator, of course). The perfect drink is Caipirinha, made with 'cachaca', smashed lemons and sugar, cold. You can drink beer, also. Be sure to have a place to rest after the Feijoada. You'll need it... :)) -- posted by Wanderley Brandao

This recipe was given to me by my best friend who lived in Brazil for a while. Its a great barbecue side dish or potluck dish. *Measurements are approximate and are to taste* I personally like more lemon than stated below. This salad is supposed to be a little tart. -- posted by chef FIFI

There's another Brazilian Christmas Turkey recipe here using rum, but I thought this traditional version was interesting since it calls for champagne. From a Christian bulletin board site. -- posted by ~Jen~

Aztec South American Chocolate and Chilli Glazed Pork Strips

Thu, 27 Mar 2008 23:39:18 -0400

A fabulous combination of heat and sweet makes this chilli and chocolate glazed pork a real winner. And, this Sophie Grigson recipe uses a very cheap cut of pork, so it makes a very economical meal; however, the unusual and exciting flavours would make this a great dinner party dish. Serve with assorted stir-fried vegetables, relishes and sauteed potatoes. The Aztec's were famous for using chocolate in their cooking, both savoury and sweet - and the addition of a good quality chocolate adds a deep and delicious dimension to this humble cut of belly pork. -- posted by French Tart
