Where to find ingredients
You can find these ingredients at local markets or major supermarkets in Guyana. Look for cassava flour (often labeled as farinha de mandioca) in the flour or international dry goods aisle. If you cannot find linguiça calabresa, a high-quality smoked sausage can be used as a substitute to maintain the smoky flavor profile.
Preparation method
- Heat a splash of vegetable oil in a large skillet.
- Fry the diced bacon until it is golden brown and crispy.
- Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent.
- Stir in the minced garlic and the sliced linguiça calabresa, cooking 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 preference.
- Fold in the freshly chopped parsley and green onions.
- Gradually stir in the raw cassava flour, mixing constantly to prevent lumps.
- Continue adding the flour until you reach your desired consistency, whether you prefer it creamy or thicker.
- Serve the dish hot, ideally paired with white rice, pan-seared pork chops, or other favorite sides.
