Brazil We got sidetracked today on the way to Bolivia, and decided to stop in Brazil instead (actually Mum said the smoked fish wouldn't last another day in the fridge so we had to go to Brazil). We ate a meal called bacalhau com batatas, which is made from smoked fish, potatoes, hard bolied eggs and tomato sauce. We all liked it, but decided that it was even better with a bit of cheese on top. We're not sure how much cheese they eat in Brazil-but oh well! Mum tried to make brigadeiros, which are little chocolate balls, for pudding, but she burnt the mixture so Niamh had ice-cream instead! We really enjoyed listening to some Brazil music. It is mostly guitar and singing with a cool beat. We hope you're enjoying our blog so far, we are enjoying all the eating and deciding what to write each night. Here is the recipe for Bacalhau com batatas: 450 grams smoked fish 3 eggs hardboiled and sliced 1 green pepper 900 grams potatoes, boiled and sliced Tin tomatoes 1 clove garlic Fresh herbs (parsley is nice) Tin of tomato puree Handful of olives (optional) Fry onions, peppers, garlic and tomatoes. Arrange a layer of potatoes over the bottom of a greased dish, then add layers alternating with fish and vegetables. Top with eggs and olives, then pour over a sauce made with the tomato puree and herbs. Bake in a moderate oven until cooked. We found this a little dry so added some cheese, maybe a bit of fish stock would help too.
