Parabéns, Brasil!

Today, september 7th, it is Brazil's Day, the day of its independence.

And, from Beatus Ille, there is no other way to get in mind brazilian people but showing their gastronomy. And you can do it at home.

Let's start with "salgadinhos", a brazilian way to start a meal:

Almofadinhas



Make a thick puré and let it be cold. Once cold, make some small discs with the puré. Between two discs put chicken (a chicken breast boiled and made threads, fried with a grated small tomato and a small onion cut tiny) and close. Pass the product by flour, egg and grated bread and fried.


If we talk about brazilian gastronomy, we must talk about Feijoada:
 

In a pot, put 400 g of black beans (have been in water during the night before), 250 g of sausage in slices, 250 g of smoked bacon cut, 250 g of pork ribs cut, 2 bay leaves, salt and black pepper. Cover all with water. When beans are almost cooked, add 1 glass of orange juice, a quarter of cabbage cut very thin and a big onion and half a garlic bulb cut tiny and fried in a bit of oil. Let all reduce. Serve with rice and orange.

One of the biggest sweets in Brazil can be the end of a meal... It is Brigadeiro:




Mix a big can of condensed milk with three soup-spoons of cocoa powder. Put to heat at low fire moving constantly. When the mixture is thick and be almost boiling, put on a dish. Let cold. Later, make balls and pass them by chocolate in small pieces.

Obviously, why not drink a Caipirinha during the meal?



In a glass, smash with a wooden stick one lime cut in eight pieces and three tea-spoons of sugar. Mix. Inmediately, add half a glass of ice in little pieces and 50 ml on cachaça. Full the glass with lime soda.

Let's make Brazil be on your table!
