Carne do Sol (sun-dried meat) originated in the Northeast region of Brazil, born out of necessity. Before refrigeration, preserving meat was a challenge. Early settlers and cattle ranchers developed the process of salting and drying the meat under the sun to extend its shelf life. Cassava (mandioca), a native root vegetable, has been a staple food in Brazil long before European colonization and served as a fundamental carbohydrate source.

Mandioca provides a mild, slightly sweet, and earthy counterpoint, offering a starchy and comforting texture. Often, the dish includes accompaniments like queijo coalho (grilled cheese), baião de dois (rice and beans), and clarified butter (manteiga de garrafa), which add further layers of flavor and richness.

Desalting the Meat
Soaking the Carne do Sol in water for several hours, changing the water frequently, is essential to remove excess salt. The soaking time depends on the saltiness of the meat; taste it periodically to determine when it's adequately desalinated.
Cooking the Meat
The meat can be cooked in various ways: boiling, pressure cooking, or pan-frying after boiling. Cooking it slowly ensures tenderness.
Choosing the Mandioca
Select firm, unblemished mandioca roots. Proper cooking is vital to remove any bitterness and achieve a soft, creamy texture. Boiling or pressure cooking until tender is recommended.
Serving Suggestions
