Galinha A Cabidela Receita Recipes

CAIPIRINHA

Steps:

• Put the lime wedges in a large jug with the sugar, then use a muddler or the end of a rolling pin to break them down. Release as much juice from the wedges as possible, and let it mix with the sugar to create a syrup - you can also do this with a large pestle and mortar. Discard the lime peel.
• Divide the syrup and cachaça between four glasses, then top with the crushed ice. Serve garnished with lime wedges, if you like.

CARIL DE GALINHA (CHICKEN CURRY)

Steps:

• Heat one tablespoon of the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and sear, turning them often, until lightly colored. Remove chicken to a platter.
• Add the remaining oil to the pan along with the shallots and garlic. Cook, stirring, until shallots turn light brown (about four minutes). Add the tomatoes and continue cooking until the oil separates (about three minutes). Stir in pepper flakes, turmeric, black pepper and paprika.
• Add the chicken pieces and mix to coat them with the spices. Add the coconut milk, along with the tamarind, ginger and salt. Mix well and bring contents to a boil. Cook, covered, over medium-low heat for 30 minutes or until the chicken is tender. Fold in the lemon grass and peppers. Cook for an additional five minutes. Uncover and serve immediately garnished with chilies.
