Farofa

Farofa is the indispensable side dish of Brazilian cuisine, a crunchy, savory toasted cassava flour mixture that accompanies everything from feijoada to churrasco. Sautéed in butter with bacon, onions, garlic, and herbs, it adds texture and flavor to every bite when sprinkled over rice, beans, or grilled meats.
