This recipe seems like a flavor-packed journey to South America!I can imagine the depth of flavors and the hearty warmth it brings, especially when shared with loved ones. Pair it with some fluffy rice, farofa, and perhaps a caipirinha for the perfect Brazilian feast. Can't wait to give this recipe a whirl and transport my taste buds to Brazil!
