Pattycake

Before seasoning, cut the beef into cubes and pass them lightly in boiling water to remove excess salt

Drain the water

Fry the beef in a little oil

After frying, bring it to a pilaf with a handful of flour

Knead thoroughly until the beef breaks down and the flour is well mixed

Put butter with chopped onion on fire

When hot, add the beef

Stir quickly to get a tasty crumb

When well fried, place slices of red onion and more butter

Serve pattycake with rice pudding, green beans with cheese, cassava and banana

If desired, as is tradition, serve with a piece of rapadura

Rice Pudding

Rice pudding or earthy rice is similar in color to whole wheat rice, which is planted on the banks of the sertão rivers

Cooked in water with salt and milk

When well cooked, add butter and, if desired, a little grated cheese.
