Arroz carreteiro
Also known as: Arroz de carreteiro
Gaúcha rice with charque, onion and garlic, finished with egg and cheese.
About Arroz carreteiro
Arroz carreteiro combines rice with charque, a salted dried meat. This recipe appears in the Gaúcha section of the Brazilian cookery course hosted by Caieiras and includes an egg-and-cheese finish.
The rice takes on the charque’s savoury flavour through its cooking broth. Onion, garlic and black pepper provide the simple seasoning, with parsley adding a fresh herbal note.
Medium cubes of meat are distributed through the rice. Chopped cooked eggs, parsley and grated cheese finish the dish, rather than forming a separate sauce or soup.
