tapioca
het is eenn tapioca. Van cassave meel gebakken. Mijn vraag was: wat vind jij het lekkerst? Ze zei: " met kaas en gedroogd vlees". Inderdaad het was heerlijk. Morgenochtend de zoete variant proberen.
In Brazil, cassava is called mandioca while its starch is called tapioca, a word derived from the word tipi'óka, its name in the Tupí language spoken by natives when the Portuguese first arrived in the Northeast Region of Brazil.This Tupí word refers to the process by which the cassava starch is made edible. As the food and word were taken to other world regions, "tapioca" was applied to similar food preparations.
In Brazilian cuisine, tapioca is used for different types of meals. In beiju (or biju), the tapioca is moistened, strained through a sieve to become a coarse flour, then sprinkled onto a hot griddle or pan, where the heat makes the starchy grains fuse into a flatbread which resembles a grainy pancake. Then it may be buttered and eaten as a toast (its most common use as a breakfast dish), or it may be filled or topped with either salgados (salty ingredients) or doces (sweet ingredients), which define the kind of meal the tapioca is used for: breakfast/dinner, or dessert. Choices for fillings range from butter, cheese, ham, bacon, various kinds of meat, chocolate, fruits such as ground coconut, condensed milk, chocolate with sliced pieces of banana or strawberry, among others. This kind of tapioca dish is usually served warm.
