Beyond Stroganoff, there are a plethora of classic Brazilian recipes included in the book. On Monday night for Family Night, Mike and I decided to try and make Coxinha. It's basically a fried chicken pastry - chicken wrapped in potato dough and deep fried (thanks mom and dad for letting us use the deep fryer!) We also made some Pastel, which is basically deep fried pastry with beef in the middle. Really good! Really Greasy.
We were both surprised at how long it took - and at what a mess making both Coxinha and Pastel made. Despite the mess, Mike was awesome and cleaned out the ENTIRE kitchen! When we woke up, the hosue still smelled like it was deep fried, but at least the dishes were done and we could eat Coxinha for lunch. Mike loved it all so much he said it was just like he was in Brazil...
