Melodee's Hot Wings

Mon, 15 Jul 2002 07:04:34 -0400

I don't remember where I got this recipe, but I have tweaked it here and there over the years. My family likes this version because it is not sloppy wet like so many others out there. However, this recipe can be served wet too. -- posted by Melodee

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

Brazilian Potato Salad

Fri, 09 Jan 2004 19:59:45 -0500

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

Sat, 11 Dec 2004 20:00:10 -0500

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 Christmas Turkey

Thu, 24 Feb 2005 19:59:55 -0500

I think this is one of the best turkey breasts I've ever had; it's reportedly part of the Ceia de Natal, or Brazilian Christmas turkey feast. Although a whole turkey is actually used, I just used a turkey breast, about 8 lbs., and used light Puerto Rican rum instead of the traditional Cachaca. It's one of those thing where you keep sneaking into the refrigerator for one more piece... prep time includes marinating overnight. -- posted by EdsGirlAngie

Tue, 31 Jan 2006 20:49:26 -0500

Carmen Miranda

Mon, 04 Sep 2006 12:43:41 -0400

This is a Brazilian version of a trifle. I haven't had a chance to try this yet, but I liked the sound of it. I found this recipe on (sadly departed) cleverchef.com a while back, but I believe it's originally from a cookbook called "Fiesta! A Celebration of Latin Hospitality". Note: allow for chilling time for assmbled trifle (minimum 2 hours, but overnight is recommended). -- posted by Muffin Goddess

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

Rabanada (Brazilian-Style French Toast)

Sun, 12 Aug 2007 21:55:14 -0400

This Brazilian breakfast treat is usually served around Christmastime. Being soaked overnight, it makes for a festive holiday brunch item. Cooking the toast long enough for the outside to get crispy still leaves it with a custard-like interior that melts in the mouth. This recipe comes from Chow, by Aïda Mollenkamp. I haven't tried this recipe yet, but I may try it with less oil on a griddle, and although a topping is not mentioned in the recipe, I might use chocolate syrup and whipped cream. Pretty rich, but it is holiday fare after all. nt (not tried) -- posted by Sue L

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

Xmas Turkey - Ceia De Natal

Wed, 05 Sep 2007 22:04:45 -0400

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~

Brazilian Holiday Chicken

Thu, 13 Sep 2007 18:51:41 -0400

I found this recipe on the Internet and still looking to verify it's authenticity. I suspect the name comes from the brilliant red and green from the tomato sauce and vegetables. For now what I can say is delicious and easy to prepare. Most of the cooking time is a passive simmer so you can easily start this dish and go attend to other things around the house. (For WW, this is Core.) -- posted by justcallmetoni

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

Doce De Banana (Sweet Banana)

Sat, 31 May 2008 00:24:09 -0400

Meia De Seda (Silk Stocking)

Mon, 20 Apr 2009 14:07:51 -0400

My mother used to make this for special occasions. There are different versions in Brazil and this is hers. It is delicious drank very cold. (Meia de Seda is Portuguese.) Here are some variations: - use rhum instead of cognac - add 1 1/2 tbsp of peanut butter - add 2 tsp of vanilla essence and 2 egg yolks -- posted by MillaKette
