Where to find ingredients
Most ingredients like onion, garlic, bacon, and vegetable oil are common in local wet markets (palengke) and supermarkets. For the authentic Brazilian ingredients, check specialty shops or the international aisle of larger grocery stores. Linguiça calabresa is a specific smoked sausage; if unavailable, a good-quality local smoked chorizo or Hungarian sausage can be a realistic substitute. Cassava flour (farinha de mandioca) is essential; it is sometimes found in the international or health food section, or can be ordered from online specialty retailers specializing in Latin American ingredients.
Preparation method
- Heat a drizzle of vegetable oil in a large frying pan over medium heat
- Sauté the diced bacon until it turns golden and crispy
- Add the diced onion and cook until it becomes soft and translucent
- Stir in the minced garlic and sliced linguiça, frying for a few more minutes until fragrant
- Pour in the cooked beans along with a portion of their broth
- Season the mixture with salt, black pepper, and a pinch of dried oregano to suit your taste
- Toss in the chopped cilantro and scallions for that fresh punch
- Gradually sprinkle in the cassava flour while stirring constantly to avoid any clumps
- Keep adding the flour until you achieve your preferred consistency, whether you like it thicker or creamier
- Serve the tutu de feijão while it's still hot, ideally paired with steamed white rice, a side of grilled pork chops, or any of your favorite mains
