History of Camila silva - Tocantins, Brasil
Ayaca is available in supermarkets on the island for a few weeks a year. Made at the end of the year, these festive delights involve cooked chicken, plums, pickled onions, ham, cashews and olives in funchi (cornmeal dough). Each chef adds their own unique touch. Wrapped in banana leaves, ayacas are frozen and can be boiled for 15-20 minutes before enjoying.
