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

Jalapeño Caipirinha Cocktail

Thu, 24 Mar 2005 17:54:39 -0500

The caipirinha is a perfect summer cocktail - full flavored Brazilian sugarcane rum (cachaca), cut by zesty lime and sweet sugar. This version uses muddled jalapeño. At first sip, you get sweetness and light, but then a warming rush of the chili pepper comes in like a burst of tropical sun. Served at Brasserio Caviar and Banana in NYC. -- posted by DeSouter

Bolo De Banana - Banana Cake

Wed, 13 Apr 2005 15:28:15 -0400

An unbelievely delicious cake made by Lucia Ceresini, a friend from Brazil. I cannot begin to describe it other than WOW! Since the recipe was in Lucia's "head"... the recipe below is a combination of Lucia's handwritten recipe and my asking questions for clarification. Believe me, it was worth the effort! -- posted by Impera_Magna

Brazilian Fish Stew

Sat, 14 Oct 2006 13:01:02 -0400

Spicy seafood stew with a nice depth. Calls for a lot of shrimp but worth it on special occasions. Got this from my friend Dayl, who may have gotten it from Cooking Light, quite a few years ago. -- posted by NitaD

Brazilian Limeade

Sat, 24 Feb 2007 07:33:49 -0500

The Baptist college I attended my freshman year had a special program where students from Brazil could come and study through a missions program. This is a recipe from Carolina, one of my best girlfriends. I love it because it's different from other limeade. -- posted by Redneck Epicurean

Caipirtini

Thu, 03 May 2007 18:05:14 -0400

My martini-style version of the Brazilian national drink, the caipirinha. Can be made sweet or tart to taste. I like to balance the tartness of the citrus and the pungency of the alcohol with a discreet amount of sugar. Should be very smooth, not too overpowering. Great on a hot summer day! -- posted by Chef #494082

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

Thu, 27 Sep 2007 20:22:48 -0400

Brazilian Lemonade

Fri, 27 Jun 2008 18:34:40 -0400

Funny title since this recipe uses limes instead of lemons. I found this in my Sunset Magazine today and decided to post it for ZWT 4 . It is important to strain out the lime rinds so the lemonade won't get bitter. -- posted by cookiedog

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

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
