Recipes from Brazil

Cooking this selection

Feijoada, pao de queijo, moqueca and brigadeiro show a bean stew, starch-based dough, fish dish and sweet. Check ingredients by function: pao de queijo starch does not behave like wheat flour. For moqueca, prepare broth and vegetables before adding fish to avoid prolonged cooking.

Planning the preparation

Start with feijoada beans and organize other dishes while they cook. For brigadeiro, stir from the bottom and cool before shaping portions. Cheese breads are best served freshly baked, so reserve baking for the end. Taste stews before salting if they include cured meats.
