Chef Tips

- Cook the cassava until it starts to crack to ensure it mashes easily without leaving hard pieces. - Shred the sun-dried beef finely, discarding any sinew and excess fat, before sautéing in butter. - Let it rest for 10 minutes before cutting the portions so that the cassava puree firms up and does not run.

Variations

- Spread a generous layer of creamy cutting requeijão over the shredded carne de sol before covering with the puree. - Add 1 chopped seedless chili pepper and fresh cilantro to the meat sauté for more seasoning. - Brush clarified butter (manteiga de garrafa) over the coalho cheese before putting it in the oven to accentuate the northeastern aroma.

Substitutions

- Traditional Carne de Sol can be replaced by desalted dried meat or cooked and shredded charque. - Cassava (yuca) can be combined with sweet potato or yam for a purée with a sweeter note. - Grated coalho cheese can be replaced by Minas meia cura cheese or fresh parmesan cheese.

How to Store

Store in a closed container in the refrigerator for up to 4 consecutive days without losing quality. To reheat while maintaining the softness of the puree, take it to a medium oven preheated to 180°C for 15 minutes covered with aluminum foil.

Can You Freeze It?

The escondidinho freezes very well assembled for up to 90 days in the freezer. It can be baked directly frozen in the oven at 180°C for 40 to 50 minutes until the center reaches a safe temperature and the coalho cheese bubbles.

What to Serve With

Serve como prato único substancial acompanhado de arroz branco soltinho, salada de folhas de alface com tomate e vinagrete. Harmoniza com cerveja pilsen gelada, refrigerante de caju regional ou caipirinha de limão.
