Empadas de galinha (Chicken pastries)

Corn and capsicum salsa

Also popular in other South American countries, this corn-and-capsicum side dish with herbs and a zingy dressing is great served with traditionally barbecued meat.

Feijao

Also known as Feijoada, this black bean stew was brought to Brazil by the Portuguese.

Ham and cheese toasties

Grilled ham and cheese sandwiches known as ‘misto-quente’ are popular at breakfast time in Brazil.

Caipirinha

Raise your glasses to Brazil’s national cocktail with rum and crushed lime.

Chicken kebabs

Grab a skewer, enclose it in a tortilla and slide off the tasty meat. Add salad and you’re ready to wrap and roll.

Potato salad

Every country has their own version of potato salad. In Brazil, they like to serve their ‘maionese’ with egg whites, raw onion, green peas, sweetcorn and mayo.

Pizza

Brazilian pizza has a thin crust, a very small amount of sauce and unusual toppings like banana and cinnamon.
