Where to find ingredients
You can find essential ingredients like bacon and various sausages at local supermarkets or butcher shops. Raw cassava flour (farinha de mandioca) is often available in the international or specialty flour aisles of well-stocked grocery stores; if unavailable, a finely ground cornmeal can serve as a texture substitute, though cassava flour is highly recommended for the authentic result.
Preparation method
- Heat a splash of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Fry the diced bacon until crisp and golden brown.
- Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent.
- Stir in the minced garlic and the sliced linguiça calabresa, frying for several minutes until fragrant.
- 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 chopped fresh herbs.
- Gradually stir in the cassava flour while mixing constantly to ensure a smooth texture.
- Continue adding the flour until you achieve your desired consistency, whether you prefer it creamy or slightly firmer.
- Serve the tutu warm, ideally accompanied by steamed white rice and pan-seared pork chops or your preferred side.
