Where to find ingredients
You can find these items at local gourmet grocery stores or large hypermarkets. For authentic Brazilian ingredients like 'linguiça calabresa' and 'cassava flour', check the international or imported food section. As a substitute, smoked sausages can replace calabresa, and fine semolina or cornmeal can act as a texture substitute if cassava flour is unavailable, though they will slightly alter the traditional flavor profile.
Preparation method
- Heat a splash of vegetable oil in a large frying pan or skillet.
- Fry the diced bacon until it turns crispy and golden brown.
- Add the diced onions to the pan and sauté until they become soft and translucent.
- Stir in the minced garlic and the sliced linguiça calabresa, frying for a few more minutes to release the aromas.
- Pour the cooked beans into the pan, including some of their liquid broth.
- Season the mixture with salt, black pepper, and dried oregano according to your preference.
- Fold in the chopped fresh cilantro and spring onion.
- Gradually sprinkle in the raw cassava flour while stirring continuously to prevent clumping.
- Continue adding flour until the mixture reaches your desired consistency, whether you prefer it creamier or firmer.
- Serve your tutu de feijão warm, ideally alongside steamed white rice and pan-seared pork chops or a protein of your choice.
