About Brazilian cooking
What defines Brazilian cooking?
Brazilian cooking is regional and strongly African-influenced on the coast: Bahian cooking uses dende (red palm) oil, coconut milk, dried shrimp and cashews for its moquecas and vatapa, while the south is cattle country and churrasco. Black beans slow-cooked with salted and smoked pork make feijoada, the national dish, eaten with farofa — toasted cassava flour — over rice, plus orange slices and sauteed collards. Cassava, in flour, starch and root form, is everywhere. Our 1,106 Brazilian recipes cover everything from quick weeknight meals to classic dishes worth learning end-to-end.
What are common Brazilian pantry staples?
Black beans, long-grain rice, cassava (manioc) flour for farofa, dende oil, coconut milk, dried shrimp, limes, garlic, onions, cilantro, malagueta peppers, cachaca, and salted or smoked pork cuts. Black beans, cassava flour and limes cover the everyday table.
