Goal #72 Try 100 new recipes (63-67): Brazilian food #2

Step 1: "feijão" You gotta have rice and beans for it to be Brazilian! 

Pinto beans, water, 1 clove garlic. If you have bay leaf, put 1 or 2 of those.

If you cook it in a pressure cooker, beans will be soft in 30-45 minutes.

The only problem is that pressure cookers are terrifying!

Unfortunately I didn't take pictures of the rest of the parts. I'm pretty sure we put some seasonings on it...

 Step 2: "Couve,"or cooked collard greens.

First you cut out the big stems and then lay them on top of each other, then roll it up into a tight roll of greens.

Slice it up into long teeny strips.

Add them to bacon

Add some salt, and fry it up

 Step 3: "frango, " fry up some chicken.

tenders + flour + oil

Step 4: arugula salad, seasoned with olive oil, vinegar, and salt (not pictured until later)
Step 5: "pão de quijo" or cheese bread. The real Brazilian way is super labor intensive. We cheat by using Our Best Bites' recipe.

The complete dish!

And we topped it off with Beijinho, which I made in this blog post
