Hey all, as some of you know… I love exploring other cultures and their foods. This last research led me to Brazil due to my love of Picanha.

Some of these pics were kinda hit and miss… so my apologies ahead of time. Tried my best, but multitasking is not my strong suit.

My research led me to the Brazilians like some veggies with their Picanha. So done some par boiled taters and bell peppers… skewered them… then cut the roast into skewerable pieces. Fired up Pete’s 18” Weber kettle for the cook with some B&B lump. Was damned hot and not many pics here. Note, next time I will used the same method but use my 22” Weber kettle with the rotisserie extension on top for some additional space between the heat and meat/veggies. Lesson learned!!

After they were done and resting…held on very low in the oven. Then mixed up what I found out to be a Brazilian staple… Farofa.

Sorry again for the lack of pics… but here’s the ingredients used. I found that there are endless variations to Farofa.

Recipe I followed…


For dessert was a guava and salted caramel pie… ingredients used…

Recipe used…


End result was really tasty… the Brazilian folks have some good stuff going on food wise and learned a bit about their culture…

Was a fun TD to enter… Congrats to the winners civilsmoker civilsmoker and S Smoke-Chem BBQ on what were some fantastic and very tasty looking meals. All the entries looked mighty tasty… and I’d have no issue sitting down to any of them.

Thanks for looking all!

Fantastic cook there Justin. I love Picanha and your looks perfect. No chimichurri?

Thanks Eric for the comment and like. I did not this go around do a chimichurri… one thing I will definitely change next time. But the chimichurri will be made the day before as well as the pie. Live and learn! 😁
 
Dude, that looks amazing! I was hoping whoever made that shared more info about that pie! Didn't even know what it was but wanted some!
Great job on it all! Now I'm gonna have to look up on how to make chimmichurry sauce... I know many rave about it but I've never had it!

There are a lot of recipes out there (all pretty simple to make). I've mostly been using this one, in fact it was featured in my steak entry.

And thanks it was a fun TD, I know I sure enjoyed the practice steak meals for sure!
