Baião de Dois
The pride of Ceará in northeastern Brazil, baião de dois is a hearty one-pot dish of rice and green beans (feijão verde) cooked together with rich coalho cheese, butter, and crispy bacon. Named after a lively forró dance rhythm, this rustic dish is the essence of sertanejo (backlands) cooking, nourishing and deeply satisfying.
