Carne seca (sun-dried beef) emerged as a practical method of preserving meat in the arid Northeast, while mandioca (cassava) has been a staple food of indigenous populations for centuries.

Escondidinho offers a delightful combination of savory, creamy, and slightly salty flavors. The richness of the mandioca puree contrasts with the intensely flavored carne seca, creating a balanced and satisfying dish.
The primary flavor comes from the carne seca, which is salty and intensely beefy. This is balanced by the creamy, slightly sweet mandioca puree. Depending on the preparation, onions, garlic, peppers, and herbs can add aromatic and spicy notes. Cheese (often queijo coalho or mozzarella) provides a layer of richness and a browned, slightly crispy top.
Funzionalità Premium
Preparing the Carne Seca
Soak the carne seca in water for at least 24 hours, changing the water several times, to remove excess salt. Shred the meat finely after cooking.
Creamy Mandioca Puree
Cook the mandioca until very tender, then puree it with milk, butter (or cream cheese), and seasonings for a smooth and creamy consistency.
Layering
Layer the ingredients carefully, starting with a layer of mandioca puree, followed by the carne seca, and finishing with another layer of mandioca puree. Top with cheese for a golden-brown crust.
Cheese Choice
Queijo coalho is a traditional choice for topping, but mozzarella or other melting cheeses work well too. For a sharper flavor, try Parmesan.
