Brazilian Garlic Recipes

Brazilian food is bold and communal, from smoky churrasco to coconut-rich seafood moquecas and the slow-cooked comfort of feijoada. When Brazilian cooks work with garlic, they reach for garlic, lime, coriander, dendê (palm) oil, coconut and malagueta chilli, and the techniques that come up most across these recipes are simmering, sautéing, boiling and frying.

The aromatic foundation of savoury cooking almost everywhere — pungent raw, sweet and mellow when cooked. In this collection it's most often cooked with onion, olive oil, bay leaves, tomatoes, fine sea salt and white rice. The dishes here span brazilian classics ready in as little as 23 minutes to slower, more involved cooking that rewards a relaxed afternoon.
