FAROFA
Manioc flour can be found in Brazilian stores. It resembles a light bread crumb, but do not confuse it with tapioca flour or starch. Once toasted in fat - here, bacon, but other kinds may be used - the manioc flour can serve as a crisp topping to the feijoada, or served alongside to soak up the juices.

Steps:
- Mash the garlic and a few pinches of salt with the side of your knife until pasty. Place bacon in large skillet over medium heat, and let it cook, stirring, for 5 minutes, or until fully rendered and lightly browned. Add a splash of vegetable oil if there isn't enough fat to generously coat the pan.
- Turn heat down to medium-low, and cook garlic until very aromatic. Add manioc flour, and cook, stirring and shaking the pan continuously, until it's a shade toastier and a little crunchy, 6 to 8 minutes. Turn off heat, and stir in butter. Add salt to taste. Let guests sprinkle or pile it onto their plates, to their taste.

Steps:
- Cook bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat until golden brown, about 6 minutes. Meanwhile, sprinkle salt on garlic and smash it into a paste with the side of a knife blade. Stir garlic into bacon and cook until garlic is golden brown, about 2 minutes.
- Lower heat and add manioc flour, stirring constantly with a flat spatula until flour is toasted to a golden color, about 4 minutes (be sure to constantly fold in flour on the bottom of pan; it toasts quickly). Immediately transfer to a bowl. Serve hot or at room temperature.
TOASTED MANIOC FLOUR WITH EGGS AND SCALLIONS (FAROFA DE OVO E CEBOLINHA)
Farofa is the term for a side dish using toasted farinha de mandioca-in English, manioc flour, which is a dried flour similar in looks and texture to breadcrumbs, made from yucca. The making of farofa as a dish couldn't be easier. It is plain manioc flour toasted in butter. A few of the classic farofa dishes include eggs and scallions, eggs and bacon, banana, bell peppers, and dendê oil, green beans and carrots, peas and corn, and so on and so forth. Farofa can be extremely dry, since the manioc flour immediately sucks up all the juices from anything it encounters, especially when it's served plain. The trick to making a moist farofa is to use a small amount of manioc flour in proportion to the other components, turning a side dish into a savory accompaniment that is so tempting, you may even forget there is a main course.

Steps:
- Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over low heat. Add the manioc flour and toast it to a light golden color, stirring often, 8 to 10 minutes. Make sure to stir constantly, otherwise the flour will burn. Set aside.
- In a nonstick skillet, warm the olive oil over medium heat, and cook the scallions until they just start to soften. Save a few slices of scallion for garnish.
- Whisk the eggs in a small bowl and season with salt and pepper. Pour the eggs into the scallions and scramble them lightly, being careful not to overcook them. Add the toasted manioc flour and stir everything together. Season with salt and pepper.
- Pour into a serving dish and garnish with the reserved scallions.

FAROFA
Steps:
- Stirr fry the finely chopped onion, salt and bacon over the oil, add the olives, sweet corn and raisins to cook them slightly. Slowly pour the manioc flour while mixing over low heat. Add parsley at last. Hint: Use your imagination to increment the farofa. If you do not have access to the toasted manioc flour, you can adapt the recipe using unseasoned bread crumb that you prepare yourself. Just grind in the blender pieces of dry french bread until fine. Use the crumb to replace the manioc flour. Serve moderate portions of farofa as a side dish with meat or feijoada. It is served usually 2 or 3 tbs of the mixture on the side.
