My Kitchen, My World…Brazil!
I’ll be honest, I almost didn’t do this. But how could I live with myself if I didn’t? I mean, seriously? This IS my group after all. It’s just that with Jon and I both being sick the past few days, a South American dinner didn’t really sound too good. So of course, I did it anyway. I was surprised to find so many good looking recipes out there for Brazilian Cuisine. The one I settled on, however, seemed more of a bunch of suggestions versus an actual recipe. This was great for me! It was easy to put together, and though it wasn’t the best thing I’ve ever eaten, it was good, better than take-out, and at least different than our norm. Jon really enjoyed it, so that counts for a lot.
I took this recipe-ish from a website called Maria’s Kitchen, at http://www.maria-brazil.org/. I did deviate a bit, in that instead of baking the dish in a “potpie” we instead rolled the filling up in flour tortillas and baked them with a little cheese. I also added in some onions and peppers to the filling, but only because we are getting ready to go on vacation and I didn’t want them sitting around in the fridge going bad. So, here’s my first MKMW post: Brazil…Enjoy!
