Where to find ingredients
Look for cooked carioca beans, cassava flour, bacon or pork belly, eggs, onions, garlic, salt with garlic, and fresh herbs in the dried beans, meat, eggs, produce, and pantry sections of local supermarkets or open-air markets. If needed, bacon or pork belly can be used as a substitute for toucinho.
Preparation method
- In a pan, heat the oil and brown the chopped onion
- Add the diced toucinho and fry well until crisp
- Add the chopped garlic and garlic salt, sautéing for another minute
- Add the eggs and mix gently, cooking until set but not broken up
