TODAY on MHTV: Brazilian food offers some seriously flavorful dishes and today I’ve got my friend Michelli here to show me how to cook up a traditional Brazilian feast. We start by making the national dish, Feijoda, a slow-cooking hearty stew filled with beans and pork. Farofa, a dish similar to polenta, is perfect to sop up all of the stew and for some veg, collard greens round out the meal.

    Every year my family does and “Ethnic Christmas.” We explore the cultures and exchange small gifts and have a truly interesting meal from the chosen county. This year Brazil was chosen. These recipies may well be the “feast” for this year.

    Sou brasileira, faço feijoada em minha casa e assisto seu programa.
    O modo de fazer a feijoada apresentada no programa difere de como se faz verdadeiramente uma feijoada aqui no Brasil.
    Creio que para o programa fizeram algumas adaptaçoes.
    Coloco em pratica muitas receitas apresentadas e elas são otimas
    Abraços
