This week's culinary experience was Brazil. I originally planned to make a traditional Feijoada (Black bean and savory meat stew), but had a terrible virus that kept me down and out most of the weekend. I tried to think of something else that would be equally comforting and then I remembered, funnily enough, a trip to Bonaire where my husband and I had the most delicious Brazilian steak with these tiny delicious cheese-puff like breads. So, we fired up the Big Green Egg in the middle of the snow, and made a wonderful meal. I made a mint chimichurri to go with the steak and a salad to balance the meal. The cheese puffs were so wonderful that I must have eaten half of them before the steak was even ready! I used cheddar cheese in the recipe instead of the parmesan it called for, as that was how they were served in Bonaire. I would happily make all of these recipes again. (Scroll down for the recipes)
