Where to find ingredients
Find fresh produce and pantry staples at local markets or general supermarkets. Raw cassava flour (farinha de mandioca) can be sourced at specialty Latin grocery stores; if unavailable, a fine-ground cornmeal may serve as a substitute, though it will alter the original texture.
Preparation method
- Heat a drizzle of vegetable oil in a large skillet.
- Fry the diced bacon until it is nicely browned and crispy.
- Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent.
- Stir in the minced garlic and the sliced linguiça calabresa, frying for a few more minutes.
- Pour in the cooked beans along with a portion of their cooking liquid.
- Season with salt, black pepper, and oregano to your liking.
- Stir in the chopped fresh herbs.
- Gradually sprinkle in the raw cassava flour, stirring constantly to incorporate.
- Continue adding flour until the mixture reaches your preferred consistency, whether you prefer it creamier or firmer.
- Serve the tutu de feijão hot, paired with white rice and pork chops or any side dish of your choosing.
