Arrumadinho de Charque
Also known as: Pernambuco Charque Arrumadinho
Charque, black-eyed beans, cassava farofa and tomato-onion salad.

About Arrumadinho de Charque
Leticia Lima presents arrumadinho de charque as a traditional Pernambuco dish associated with northeastern Brazilian boteco food. This rendition places charque, cooked black-eyed beans, cassava farofa and a tomato-and-onion salad together on one platter.
The charque is fried with onion and bottled butter, while ordinary butter enriches the toasted cassava flour. Parsley brightens the salad and the finished plate; bay leaves, black pepper and bacon are optional additions.
The meat, beans, farofa and salad occupy separate areas rather than being mixed together. Lemon provides an optional sharp accent, with another optional pepper accompaniment at the table.
