Recipe



Sauté garlic, onion, tomatoes, peppers, green onions, parsley and cilantro in palm oil for about two minutes; add hearts of palm and coconut milk.

Farofa
(Toasted Manioc Meal)

This is a simple recipe for toasted manioc meal (farinha de mandioca). The farofa can also be very fancy with olives, prunes, bacon, sausage, cashew nuts, banana, etc. added to it.

4 tablespoons of butter

3 cups manioc flour

Salt to taste

Melt the butter in a heavy skillet. Add manioc meal and cook over low heat stirring constantly until golden. Sprinkle with salt, to taste. Serve in a small ceramic bowl.
