👨‍🍳 조리법

1
Prepare the carne seca: Soak the dried beef in water overnight to rehydrate and soften. Drain, rinse, and shred the beef.
2
In a separate pot, sauté the chopped onions and minced garlic in palm oil until softened. Add the shredded carne seca, chopped tomatoes, bay leaf, salt, and pepper. Cook for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the beef is heated through and the flavors have melded.
3
Prepare the fofo: In a large, heavy-bottomed pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Gradually whisk in the cassava flour, a little at a time, ensuring no lumps form. Stir vigorously with a wooden spoon until a thick, smooth porridge forms.
4
Continue to cook the fofo over low heat, stirring constantly, for about 20-30 minutes, adding more water (up to 2 cups) as needed to reach a firm, yet pliable consistency. The fofo should be dense and hold its shape.
5
To serve, place a generous portion of fofo on a plate and top with the prepared carne seca mixture. Serve immediately.

💡 전문가 팁

✓The key to good fofo is constant stirring to prevent lumps and achieve a smooth, dense texture.
✓If you can't find cassava flour (fuba de bombó), you can substitute with cornmeal (fuba de milho), though the texture will be slightly different.
✓Ensure the carne seca is well-soaked to remove excess salt and achieve a tender texture.
