Roast Pork with caramelized sweet pumpkin, kale, and orange. Followed by a sweet banana paste and white cheese dessert. Simple.
Minas Gerias is a state just north of Rio de Janeiro. Famed for the ubiquitous Pao de Quijou, Minas has a long history in the gastronomy of Brazil. Each town has a different dish, a unique flavour, a secret recipe. Outside commentary of Brazilian cuisine is mostly reserved for the states of Bahia, the North East, Rio Grand do Sul, Amazonia, Rio, and SaoPaulo. However, Minas (as it is fondly referred) is widely favored among the locals as the best cuisine in Brazil. Its called culinaria de Maneira. Here we uncover one of those recipes, from a little Ma and Pa restaurant in Carangola, 374 km outside of Belo Horizonte, the state capital of Minas. Ingredients

SidesSliced oranges add a nice colour contrast. Couve (kale) lightly fried in butter, chopped bacon and garlic, adds an interesting bitter, salt flavour. And for dessert. Well, you may have heard of Romeo and Juliet before, but did you know it is the name given to perhaps the most famous dessert in Brazil? Romeo and Juliet is quite simply Minas Queijo (a ricotta like soft white cheese) served with guava paste. Fruit pastes are very popular in Brazil. With a wide variey of exotic fruit to choose from, it's no surprise. Easy to make, and especially good with a light soft white cheese. As Guavas are not readily available we thought you might like to try this easy recipe for a sweet banana paste. Utensils
