Another great Afro-Brazilian dish. Farofa is toasted casava flower fried in butter with a variety of other ingredients. It's a wonderful accompaniment to other Brazilian dishes. Yellow Farofa is mixed with Dende (Palm Oil) which gives its great colour and adds to the nutty taste. Ideal for eating with fish dishes.

  • Eu sou americano and eu soooo in love with this guy from Brasilia. (lol) If the stomach is a way to a man's heart, I would become the best cook of Brazilian food in the world to win his.

  • @Ginobambino100 Farofa sounds like a very unlikely way into a man's heart but it's so simple to make so why not give it go. Good luck.

  • A very simple dish, though it would be nice to have some more exact measurements... it looks like maybe:

    * 1/4 cup butter

    * 1/2 white onion, chopped

    * 1 1/2 Tbsp Dende oil

    * 2-2 1/2 cups casava flour

    * Pinch of salt to taste

    Is this close at all?

  • Yes. That's pretty spot on. But I must confess I never really measured it. Plus different people like different textures. My wife likes more flour than anything. I like more bits and less flour.

  • oooh, you make me blush :-)

see all

  • you're disgusting

  • Cassava flour? Din-din oil??? If ur making a tutorial video on ethnic foods it's a good idea to get a close up on items that are unusual. Or pop up words on video. I kept playing it over again to try to make out what he said these things were. But it wad no use. I still have no idea what those things are called. Guess this is not meant to educate someone who doesn't already know how to cook this.

  • Minha Mae nunca fez farofa I gente comprava no zafiri

  • Muito bom!

  • Lindo, Nando. Simples e claro.

  • I remember mom making it and it was fantastic on rice. My friends and i used to go downtown sao Jose dos Campos, from CTA, and sit outside stores eating fine foods and bate-papo

  • Very nice..

  • He sounds like Rodriguez from Shogun. "Wakarimasu ka?" :D
