Where to find ingredients
You can find cooked beans and bacon at most local supermarkets in the meat and deli counters. Calabresa sausage and raw cassava flour are specialty items often found in international food aisles or local independent grocers specializing in Latin American ingredients; as a substitute, you could use a smoked chorizo or similar firm smoked sausage, and tapioca starch or finely ground cornmeal if cassava flour is unavailable.
Preparation method
- Heat a splash of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Fry the diced bacon until it is crispy and golden brown.
- Stir in the chopped onion and sauté until it becomes translucent.
- Add the minced garlic and the sliced calabresa sausage, frying for a few more minutes.
- Pour in the cooked beans along with a little bit of their cooking liquid.
- Season the mixture with salt, black pepper, and dried oregano to your preference.
- Fold in the chopped fresh herbs.
- Gradually stir in the raw cassava flour, mixing continuously to prevent lumps.
- Continue adding the flour until you reach your desired consistency, whether you prefer it creamier or firmer.
- Serve the tutu de feijão while hot, ideally paired with white rice, pork chops, or your favorite main dish.
