This is Emeril’s version of the national cocktail of Brazil, which is especially refreshing during warm weather. Sort of like a Brazilian Mojito (without the mint)! The key to making it strictly Brazilian is to cachaca, which is Brazilian brandy made from sugarcane.
This recipe includes sweet potatoes and black beans with a simple mayonnaise dressing. I have not tried this yet but is sure sounds good. From recipelink.com
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. 🙂
Luciana (from Curitiba, Brazil) taught me this. She grew up with this back home. It’s a white lasagne, with ground beef and ham slices. Conceptually similar to the familiar “red” lasagne, but a completely different taste. We loved it.
Feijoada is the national dish of Brazil. It’s served everywhere in Brazil, from beach-side stands to the finest restaurants. This version captures the spirit of feijoada minus the meat. Chipotle pepper adds a hint of smoky heat.
