Where to find ingredients
You can find these ingredients at major local supermarkets. For specific items: calabresa sausage and cassava flour (manioc flour) are often available at specialty import grocers or large international supermarkets. As a substitute, high-quality chorizo may be used in place of calabresa, and fine semolina or cornmeal can be used if cassava flour is unavailable, though they will alter the authentic texture.
Preparation method
- Heat a splash of vegetable oil in a large skillet.
- Fry the diced bacon until it is golden brown.
- Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent.
- Incorporate the minced garlic and sliced calabresa sausage, frying for a few more minutes.
- Stir in the cooked beans along with some of their broth.
- Season with salt, black pepper, and oregano to taste.
- Add the chopped fresh herbs.
- Gradually stir in the raw cassava flour, mixing constantly.
- Continue adding flour until the desired consistency is reached, whether you prefer it creamier or firmer.
- Serve the dish hot, accompanied by white rice and pork chops or your preferred side.
