商品簡介
Cabana: The Cookbook includes at its heart recipes for vibrant, zingy, spicy barbecue dishes which are certain to make 2014 the summer of all things Brasilian. Whether you'll be glued to the World Cup, or seeking refuge from the football with a cool drink in the garden, this book contains all the recipes you need for a long, hot summer of barbecue.
Spicy malagueta chicken is one of Cabana's signautre dishes - skewers of chicken marinated in the country's favourite malagueta chilli, garlic, lemon, paprika and oregano and glazed with mustard and honey. A 'beer can' whole roast chicken is steamed with a marinade of cachaca, lime, garlic, brown sugar and sage. Chilli and cumin marinated lamb is served on skewers with palm hearts, and a herby chimichurri marinade is the perfect accompaniment to barbecued monkfish. Sitting alongside the dishes are sides such as a palm heart and four-corn salad, coconut rice, black beans, sweet potato fries and cornbread.
Yet there's so much more to Brasilian food than grilled meat. Delicious breakfasts include the fruit-packed Acai Berry bowl and Corn cakes with bacon and doce de lette (milk caramel). Tasty street food will inspire with recipes for fluffy Cheese Breads (pao de quiejo), spicy chicken croquettes (coxinhas) or crunchy deep fried rice balls (bolinhos). Brasil's multi-cultural make-up is reflected in dishes such as the Italianate Grilled Pork with Parmesan or the street snack Pastels which are derived from Asian crispy spring rolls. And of course the classic feijoada is represented - here in a new style version in which black beans are simmered with chorizo and pulled pork.
Decadent desserts range from Banana Upside-down cake to Brasil Nut Banoffee Pie, Avocado Ice Cream and Coconut & Lime Sorbet. Refreshing fruit-based drinks and cocktails include Limonada Suissa, Amazon Ice Tea and Watermelon Martini - not forgetting, of course, the Classic Caipirinha.
Packed with colourful photography as well as over 80 recipes, this book offers a slice of modern Brasilian life with stories about the origins of each recipe and excursions ranging from how to dance the samba, to the story of how the Scots brought futebol to Brasil.
