Look for Brazilian ingredients such as requeijão, goiabada, guaraná soda, calabresa, cassava flour, tapioca starch, cachaça and jiló in Brazilian or Latin American grocers, international food shops, gourmet supermarkets and online speciality grocery sections. Standard produce, dairy, meat and pantry items are usually available in supermarkets, wet markets and neighbourhood grocery stores. If needed, use only clearly labelled substitutes here: cream cheese for requeijão, chorizo-style smoked sausage for calabresa, and panko or dry breadcrumbs where farinha de rosca is unavailable.

Galinhada is a beloved Brazilian dish that combines tender chicken with richly flavoured rice. Slow cooking lets the chicken, rice, onion, garlic and herbs come together in a generous family meal.
