Notes

Cassava is also known as yuca or manioc. It was cut into wedges and fried in Canola oil

The Main Dish Was Feijoada
Feijoada is a black bean stew that’s cooked for days with carne seca (beef jerky) and pork parts. It is seasoned with onions, garlic, bay leaves, and rock salt. The Feijoada is served over white rice and topped off with farofa (manioc meal) for texture.

Cuove for the Side
Cuove is a garlicky and bitter collard greens that was great for contrast.
