Beijinho De Coco (Brazilian Coconut Balls)
This is a cousin of the chocolate drop, brigadeiro, instead of chocolate there is coconut. This is a staple at any Brazilian child’s birthday party.
Brazilian Chicken Salad Aka Salpicao Especial De Galinha
Similar to Maionese, or Brazilian Potato Salad, this is another favorite dish of mine from Brazil, my husband’s home country. My favorite version was served to me 10 years ago at an authentic Brazilian restaurant in Southboro, Massachusetts called Ipanema. I rushed home and came up with this and I think its pretty darn close! This is a newly adopted recipe. I will be trying it soon. 🙂
Crazy Rice – Brazilian
This is a recipe that I found in Steven Raichlen’s “The Barbecue Bible” for Brazil. You can also make this in a vegetarian form by leaving out the bacon and increasing the oil to 2 tablespoons.
Brazilian Beef and Tomatoes
You can plate this dish over egg noodles or rice if you wish. I prefer it in a bowl with warm corn tortillas which I use as scoops.
Brazil Nut Shortbread
A really good, really rich South Amercian cookie, great with coffee or chocolate. From Leith’s Latin American Cooking.
