This summer, all eyes will be on Rio de Janeiro; the 2016 Olympics will showcase the best that the world of athletics has to offer, but we won't just be focusing on sports. Brazilian food will also be in vogue, and to make sure you don't miss out, today we recommend five typically Brazilian dishes to try at home during this Olympic season. Feijoada This may be Brazil's national dish. What was once a specialty prepared by slaves and the lower class of Brazil is now the most sought-after dish by tourists across the country. It is a stew filled with rice and beans along with sausage, pork, ham, and other parts of the pig. It’s perfect for family meals and sharing. Coxinhas The name may sound strange, but these are actually golden chicken croquettes, a typically Brazilian dish. If you're looking for a snack to enjoy while watching the various Olympic competitions, these small fried pastries typical of the streets of Brazil will be perfect on your table. The delicious part of the recipe is that it also includes a bit of cream cheese that contrasts with the chicken. Cheese Bread This bread is known as Pão de Queijo in Brazil; its magic lies in the dough as it incorporates both manchego and parmesan cheese. It can be served on the table to accompany any stew, although in Brazil, they also eat it in the morning and in the afternoon as a snack. It is extremely soft and has a delicate flavor, making it enjoyable for both adults and children. Caipirinha No cocktail represents Brazil more than this sweet combination of sugar, lime, ice, and cachaça. It may be considered a tropical drink that works best in a beach setting, but the reality is that it is a cocktail that can work on various occasions and definitely makes for a refreshing drink this holiday season. Brigadeiro This recipe is like a chocolate truffle that is very famous in Brazil; both kids and adults love it, and it is always present at parties and gatherings. The fun part is that you can make them just chocolate, with shredded coconut, sprinkles, or any other decoration you fancy. It’s also a fun recipe for little ones, so you can ask them to help you and prepare them together.
