Popular Brazilian Dishes You Might Want to Try
So, what are you waiting for? Here are a few Brazilian dishes that you might love to learn how to prepare:
Feijoada
Feijoada is often called the 'national dish' of Brazil. It's a stew made with flavorful black beans and meat (usually pork and beef). The dish is so popular that a holiday, Dia de Nossa Senhora da Concei??o Aparecida, is dedicated to Feijoada, signifying its importance in Brazilian culture. Take the time to learn how to simmer this robust dish, and experience the depth of flavor that makes feijoada a beloved staple in Brazilian homes.
Banana Pesada
If you're a fan of dessert, you might want to explore Brazilian banana desserts. Banana Pesada, or banana creme pie, is a favorite across Brazil. This custard-based dessert is creamy, rich, and oh-so-satisfying. With a luscious banana custard filling and a melt-in-your-mouth buttery crust, Banana Pesada is sure to become a family favorite.
Quibeche
Don't be scared off by the unusual name. Quibeche is a delicious pasty filled with shredded meat, cheese, and vegetables, similar to a calzone or empanada. It's perfect for meal prep and can be frozen for future enjoyment. Quibeche is versatile, adaptable to various fillings, and can be enjoyed as a snack or a larger meal.
