Escondidinho de Carne Seca offers a delightful contrast between savory, salty meat and creamy, slightly sweet mashed cassava or potatoes.
The dominant flavor is the intensely savory and salty 'carne seca,' which is typically rehydrated and shredded. This is balanced by the creamy, often buttery, mashed cassava or potato topping. Some versions include 'requeijão' (a Brazilian cream cheese), adding a tangy and rich dimension. Onions, garlic, and peppers are often used to season the meat, providing aromatic depth. Cilantro and parsley often provide a burst of fresh flavor.
Funzionalità Premium
Rehydrating the Carne Seca
Properly rehydrating the carne seca is crucial. Soak it in water for several hours, changing the water multiple times, to remove excess salt.
Mashed Topping Consistency
Ensure the mashed cassava or potato topping is smooth and creamy. Adding butter, milk, or cream cheese will help achieve the desired consistency.
Browning the Top
For a visually appealing and flavorful dish, broil the Escondidinho for a few minutes before serving to brown the top slightly.
Individual Portions
Creating individual portions allows for easy serving and ensures everyone gets a perfectly balanced portion of the carne seca and topping. Use oven-safe ramekins for best results.
