Ingredients
Step by step process
Preparing the ingredients
- 1
First prep all the ingredients. Dice the bacon and sausage, finely chop the onion and garlic and cut the kale into thin strips. Drain the beans.
Frying the meat
- 2
Render the bacon in a pan until golden, add the sausage and fry it briefly. Stir in the onion and garlic and saute until translucent.
Eggs and beans
- 3
Crack the eggs into the pan and stir until they set into small pieces. Add the drained beans and warm them through.
Cassava flour and greens
- 4
Pour in the cassava flour and toast it, stirring constantly, until it lightly browns. Stir in the kale and let it wilt.
- 5
Season with salt and pepper. Mix everything well so the flour coats evenly in the fat.
Serving
- 6
Sprinkle the finished dish with sliced spring onion. Serve it hot with cooked rice.
More tips:
Swap the kale for collard greens called couve, common in Brazil, or young spinach.
Fine cornmeal or ground polenta can stand in for the cassava flour.
