≡Barreado is a traditional dish from the coast of Paraná, prepared with beef
Barreado is a traditional dish from the coast of Paraná, prepared with beef, bacon, onion, garlic and various seasonings, including bay leaves, green scent, cumin and black pepper. The name derives from the practice of "barrear a pot", which consists of sealing the clay pot with cassava flour to retain the steam. The meat is cooked for several hours over low heat, resulting in an extremely tender texture and rich broth. Barreado is accompanied by rice, cassava flour and banana (fried or raw). The tradition of cooking beef was introduced to the coastal region of Paraná by the first Portuguese, who carried out joint efforts, known as "pixirum" in the indigenous language, bringing together the local population in collective activities, where dishes such as carne barreada were served, considered simple and Easy to prepare and can be heated several times over a wood fire.
