Brazilian Recipes?

[morocco4ever 63]

Hi all,

My hubby is Moroccan, but works with a woman that is from Brazil. She is constantly cooking food and bringing it to work for everyone. He is going crazy over this food. I have her number, but I guess I am too shy too call her to ask her for some recipes.

So for my question, is there a thread somewhere here with some of these great Brazilian dishes that is in English?

I'm sorry I can't be of any help but we had a Brazilian friend when we were kids and she was shocked to see us put salt on the avocados that we were having with dinner. She then told us that in Brazil people treat avocados like fruits and make avocado juice with milk. Is this true?

Yeah, I lived in Brazil for a little while and I've seen the sweetened avacado thing. I thought it was strange, but people in Ethiopia do the same thing. They make sweet smoothies from avacados.

[morocco4ever 63]

They do that in Morocco too. They make juice with milk, avacado's, apples, and sugar. My hubby loves it but I can't say I care for it.

I can start posting some recipes in this thread, if you'd like. In english.

Brazilian food much like American food varies greatly from region to region. The food is often closely compared to American Southern Cooking, using pork, rice, black eyed pees, cayenne type chilies, and some unique cheeses. I would recommend finding out what region this girl is from and that will tell you a lot about the type of food she is making. The food in the North East of Brazil is vastly different form the south. Brazilian food relies heavily on salt as active ingredient to bring out the flavor in the food. The excessive amounts of salt can be traced back to the seafaring days of the Portuguese using it to preserve almost everything.

This site was always a favorite of a coworker. They have videos and the recipes online:

I would love that! I think I remember Charles saying you are a good cook.

well, he's my husband he's supposed to say that.

This weekend I'll go over the brasileiritchas thread and see what I can repost here in english. I'll also post some of my recipes.

The thing is, I don't really cook brazilian recipes. I cook whatever hubby and I like, which is usually anything with lots of garlic and pepper

My wife bought me a Brazilian cook book for Christmas ( I am a very good cook so this wasnt just a hint, we both just know who the chef in our house is ) She bought it in Brazil but everything is in english. I will post some on here tomorrow One thing that i wish I could have here is Farofa, it isnt sold in Richmond VA, its just not a flour we use in my city I guess, and im just not sure about ordering food off of an internet website. And what Mateo said is true, my wife is from Para and there is not one dish in this cook book from her state, well the dish is there but when we look at the recipes she says the book is crazy and thats not how its done.

Sometimes some recipes are like too fat or there is something hard to find in US so to let you know the brazillian food alows you to adapt from fat to light or some recipes that you don't have there you should probably google and do some research and if you find something in poruguese try use the google translate is a kind of hard because it doesn't translate all the words but try to put the pieces together and you might understand hahahahha

I found this blog that is from a Brazillian woman that lives in Chicago I knoew her from a group on Orkut and I really liked because she mix like brazillian ways to cook with american products

This is how I make feijao:

Make pinto beans and when they're done chop up some chourico and mandioca and let it cook for another hour.The recipie I have calls for chopped up hard boiled eggs,but I hate them so I never add them.You could do this in the crock pot if you wanted to.
