Chef Tips

- Desalt the cubed meat in cold water in the fridge for 12 hours, changing the liquid at least three times. - Squeeze the sweet potato while still hot to obtain a silky and uniform puree without hard pieces. - Wait 10 minutes after removing from the oven before slicing so that the layers stabilize in the pan.

Variations

- Spread a generous layer of requeijão over the meat before covering with the mashed potatoes for greater creaminess. - Add clarified butter (manteiga de garrafa) and chopped pimenta-de-cheiro to the dried meat sauté to accentuate the aroma. - Sprinkle fine breadcrumbs mixed with queijo coalho to intensify the crunch of the gratin.

Substitutions

- Sweet potato can be replaced by cooked cassava or English potato in the same proportion of 500g. - Rennet cheese can be swapped for mozzarella or standard Minas cheese, coarsely grated. - The heavy cream can be substituted with creamy requeijão from a tube for a firmer filling.

How to Store

Guarde em recipiente hermético na geladeira por até 4 dias. Reheat in the oven at 180°C covered with aluminum foil for 15 minutes to preserve the moisture of the puree without burning the cheese.

Can You Freeze It?

You can freeze the assembled dish before or after baking for up to 3 months, well wrapped in plastic wrap. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight and take to a medium oven until heated through.

What to Serve With

Serve accompanied by very loose white rice, green leaf salad with tomato, and classic vinaigrette to balance the richness of the queijo coalho.

Frequently Asked Questions

How to desalt carne-seca without removing all the flavor?

Cut the meat into 3 cm cubes and leave it immersed in water in the refrigerator for 12 hours, changing the cold water every 4 hours before pressure cooking.

Can I make it with cassava instead of sweet potato?

Yes, the cooked and mashed cassava is the classic of the northeastern escondidinho and pairs in perfect harmony with the shredded carne-seca.

Why is coalho cheese ideal for gratinating?

Queijo coalho resists high temperatures better without melting into the oil, forming a golden and crispy crust on the surface.

How to prevent the puree from becoming watery?

Cook the sweet potato with the skin on or steamed; add the heavy cream gradually and stir over low heat until it reaches a thick consistency.
