Where to find ingredients
You can find essential ingredients like linguiça calabresa and cassava flour (sometimes labeled as 'manioc flour' or 'farinha de mandioca') at well-stocked supermarkets or specialty international food grocers. If you cannot find linguiça, a smoked pork sausage with similar seasoning can be used as a substitute.
Preparation method
- Heat a splash of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Fry the diced bacon until it is golden brown and crispy.
- Add the diced onion to the skillet and sauté until translucent.
- Stir in the minced garlic and the linguiça calabresa slices, cooking for several minutes to develop the flavor.
- Pour in the cooked beans along with a portion of their broth.
- Season the mixture with salt, black pepper, and dried oregano to your preference.
- Stir in the fresh chopped parsley and green onions.
- Gradually add the raw cassava flour, stirring constantly to prevent lumps.
- Continue adding the flour until you reach your desired consistency, whether you prefer it velvety or slightly firmer.
- Serve the finished tutu hot, ideally alongside white rice and grilled pork chops or your choice of protein.
