Brazilian farofa with bacon
Ingredients
Step by step process
Preparation
- 1
Farofa starts with the prep. Dice the bacon finely, chop the onion and garlic and slice the spring onion into thin rings. Toasting the flour goes quickly.
The base
- 2
Render the bacon in a dry pan until golden so it releases its fat and crisps up. Add the butter, onion and garlic. Saute them until softened.
TIP:Sauté the onion over medium heat until golden or translucent. Add the garlic at the end and sauté briefly to release the aroma, but do not burn it.
- 3
Crack the eggs straight into the pan. Stir them until they set into small golden pieces.
Toasting the flour
- 4
Pour in the cassava flour. Toast it over low heat, stirring constantly, until it turns golden and smells of nuts.
- 5
Season with salt and pepper. Mix thoroughly so every grain is coated in fat and stays loose.
Serving
- 6
Sprinkle the finished side with sliced spring onion. Serve it warm with roast meat, beans or a grilled skewer.
More tips:
Render the bacon in a dry pan first, then add the butter and onion.
Toast the flour over low heat and stir constantly, or it turns bitter.
