Cuscuz Paulista Recipe  - Authentic Brazilian Savory Cornmeal Mold

Cuscuz Paulista Recipe - Authentic Brazilian Savory Cornmeal Mold

Servings: 6

Total Cooking Time: 30 minutes + 2 hours chilling

Ingredients

  • 3 cups pre-cooked flaked cornmeal

  • 1 red onion

  • 1 red bell pepper

  • 1/2 cup green peas

  • 1/2 cup sliced green olives

  • 1/2 cup diced hearts of palm

  • 1/2 cup tomato sauce

  • 2 cups vegetable broth

  • 1 tomato

  • 3 hard-boiled eggs

  • 3 teaspoons Perfeito All-Purpose Seasoning

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 2 tablespoons chopped parsley

  • Olive oil, for greasing

Instructions

  1. Slice the onion into thin petals and cut the red bell pepper into strips.

  2. In a heavy-bottomed pot, heat the olive oil and quickly sauté the onion and bell pepper. Add the peas, olives, hearts of palm, and tomato sauce. Stir well.

  3. Pour in the vegetable broth and seasoning, stir, and bring to a boil.

  4. Lower the heat. Gradually sprinkle in the cornmeal while stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Cook until fully incorporated, then turn off the heat and mix in the parsley.

  5. Slice the tomato and boiled eggs into rounds.

  6. Grease a bundt pan (or ring mold) with olive oil and decorate the bottom and sides with the tomato and egg slices.

  7. Spoon the cornmeal mixture into the pan, carefully pressing it down so the decoration stays in place.

  8. Once filled, press the mixture firmly to remove any air pockets.

  9. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before unmolding.

  10. Serve chilled.
