Chef Tips

- Drain and wash the canned hearts of palm in running water to remove excess acidity and brine before sautéing. - Cook the cassava until it falls apart and remove the central fibrous thread before blending to ensure homogeneous texture. - Stir the bottom of the pan non-stop with a silicone spatula during the final cooking so it doesn't stick or burn.

Variations

- Acrescente 1/2 xícara de cubos de pimentão vermelho grelhado junto com o palmito para enriquecer a apresentação. - Incorpore 1 colher de café de gengibre ralado fresco no refogado inicial de alho para trazer uma nota picante. - Adicione 100g de cogumelos frescos fatiados e salteados na frigideira misturados ao bobó antes de finalizar.

Substitutions

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I remove the excessively acidic taste from canned hearts of palm?

Boil the chopped hearts of palm pieces in plain water for 3 minutes and drain completely before adding to the onion saute.

Why did my bobó get an elastic and heavy consistency?

Beating hot cassava at maximum speed for excessive time activates the starch too much; beat just enough to homogenize.

Posso usar mandioca amarela ou branca nesta receita?

Ambas funcionam muito bem; a mandioca amarela (manteiga) confere uma cor mais dourada e textura naturalmente mais macia.

What to do if the bobó gets excessively thick in the pot?

Add boiling filtered water gradually, spoonful by spoonful, stirring constantly until the desired creamy consistency is reached.
