CHURRASCO BOX SMALL BUNDLE

Let’s dive into the delicious world of Brazilian churrasco, a mouthwatering barbecue tradition that will make your taste buds dance:

Churrasco Overview:
Churrasco is the national barbecue of Brazil, celebrated for its artful spit-roasting technique.
Imagine a whole meal cooked on a rotisserie, and you’ll understand the essence of churrasco.
The word “churrasco” might have roots in the Spanish term “socarras,” which means to burn or singe. It’s like the crispy, crusty part at the bottom of a paella pan that everyone craves.
So, from socarrat to churrasco, it’s a flavorful leap!

Key Ingredient: 

Picanha (Top Sirloin Cap):

Picanha, known as the top-capped sirloin in the U.S., steals the show. It’s the top piece of sirloin with a thick fat cap.
This juicy cut is skewered and grilled to perfection.

Toscana Sausage:

Toscana is a type of Brazilian sausage that draws inspiration from Italian flavors.

It’s a rustic, coarsely ground sausage with a robust taste profile.
The name “Toscana” refers to the Tuscany region in Italy, known for its rich culinary heritage.

Meat: Toscana sausage typically features a blend of pork and sometimes beef.

Seasonings: The flavor comes from a harmonious mix of garlic, black pepper, fennel seeds, and sometimes red pepper flakes.
Herbs: Fresh rosemary is a key herb that infuses the sausage with aromatic goodness.

Pairings and Enjoyment:

Remember the garlic bread (pão de alto) for a delightful contrast.

And if you’re feeling adventurous, add some grilled pineapple dusted with cinnamon.
Pair your churrasco with fresh juice, caipirinhas, or beer.

Now you’re ready to host your own Brazilian churrasco feast!
