Arroz de tropeiro
Hello dear Steemers! Today I would like to present you a recipe from Minas Gerais. Minas Gerais is a state in the South East of Brazil. It is known for its heritage of architecture and colonial art, its beautiful landscape marked by mountains and most important the very rich cuisine that is known throughout Brazil. Todays dish is called "arroz de tropeiro". What that means and where it comes from, I will tell you in a later post about the state Minas Gerais. If you wonder how to pronounce "tropeiro", have a look at the pronunciation of "Rio de Janeiro" our most famous city here in Brazil, which means "River of January". And now after quite some information finally the recipe.

Thankyou. When you go to Brazil, you have to ask for a restaurant with "comida minera" (food from Minas Gerais). There they should have it :-)
ok thanks
Looks like a meaty paella :P Nice post i was supposed to head to brazill last year. Im still mad i coiuldnt not go :(
It is more or less a paella yes, but Brazilian style :-) Thankyou I am happy you like it. That`s sad, I hope you will have soon an opportunity to visit Brazil.
Omigosh, this looks delish. I wish I'd caught the post when it went up so my upvote was worth something. When I try to cook this myself (which will be hard for me, I have a tiny kitchen) I will be halving the ingredients so I can cook it for my hubby and I and eat it for three days :D
