A dish from the Brazilian cuisine, sometimes called "The
Brazilian Haggis". There are different versions; this one
was noted down by your correspondent as he sat humbly
watching his better half prepare it (except for when he was
at the sink cleaning intestines).
METHOD:
Wash the intestines VERY THOROUGHLY, first in water, then in
lime juice. Cut into 1/2 inch long rings and leave in fresh
lime juice and water (having first turned the lengths of
intestine inside out and cleaning again). Cut the sausage,
bacon, beef and half the blood into smallish pieces. Put
the bacon pieces into a pressure cooker and melt into fat.
Fry the garlic a little in the fat then throw everything
else in except the reserved blood. Close the pressure
cooker and cook for 30 minutes. Add the reserved blood and
cook for a further 15 minutes (or until cooked).
Also traditionally served with farinha (manioc flour cooked
in fat with onions and bacon) and eaten with the fingers.
I hope someone tries this: it's worth the effort and is
really very nice.
