Where to find ingredients
You can find fresh produce, onions, garlic, and herbs in the fresh vegetable aisle of local supermarkets. For the calabresa sausage and cassava flour (manioc flour), look in the international food section or at specialty Caribbean and Latin American grocers; if unavailable, use high-quality smoked sausage as a substitute for calabresa and coarse-ground cornmeal or semolina as a textural substitute for cassava flour.
Preparation method
- Heat a splash of vegetable oil in a large skillet.
- Fry the diced bacon until it reaches a deep golden brown.
- Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent.
- Stir in the minced garlic and the sliced calabresa sausage, frying for a few more minutes.
- Pour in the cooked beans along with a portion of their broth.
- Season with salt, black pepper, and oregano to your liking.
- Mix in the chopped parsley and scallions.
- Gradually add the raw cassava flour, stirring constantly to incorporate.
- Continue adding the flour until you reach your preferred consistency, whether you like it creamier or firmer.
- Serve the tutu de feijão piping hot, paired with white rice and pork chops or your choice of side.
