Churrasco & Espetinhos -
Brazilian Barbecue & Skewers

Olá a todos que estão lendo isso na comunidade @steemfoods! Meu nome é David e sou um Britânico que agora mora no Brasil com minha esposa (que é Brasileira). Minhas postagens são sobre minha vida no Brasil e minha vida passada no Reino Unido. Esse post é sobre o churrasco e espetos brasileiros. 🍡
Hello to everyone reading this on the @steemfoods community! My name is David and I'm a British guy who now lives in Brazil with my wife (who is Brazilian). My posts are about my life in Brazil and my past life in the UK. This post is about the Brazilian barbecue & skewers. 🍡



Here I am with a few different types of skewers (espetinhos) that are available in Brazil

Por isso, o Brasil é conhecido mundialmente pelo seu excelente churrasco. Eles têm muitos cortes de carne diferentes e eles têm tempo para prepará-los, temperá-los e cozinhá-los. No passado, não tive uma experiência brilhante com churrascos britânicos, lembro-me deles consistindo em salsichas meio cozidas ou queimadas e hambúrgueres jogados às pressas em um pãozinho, acompanhados de cebolas fritas e um esguicho de mostarda ou ketchup. Portanto, acho que os churrascos brasileiros são muito superiores e mais saborosos - deliciosos! 😋

So, Brazil is known globally for their excellent barbecue. They have many different cuts of meat and they time to prepare, season and cook them. In the past, I haven't had a brilliant experience with British BBQ's, I remember them consisting of half-cooked or burnt sausages and burgers thrown hastily into a bap or bread roll, accompanied with fried onions and a squirt of mustard or tomato sauce (ketchup). Therefore, I think Brazilian barbecues are far superior and tastier - delicious! 😋




Some skewers (espetinhos), from left to right: cheese, chicken with onion & peppers, cheese with bacon, steak/rump steak (alcatra) and kafta made of minced rib meat filled with cheese

Pork (pancetta) seasoned or coated in coarse salt (sal grosso)

A carne é grelhada em espetinhos (skewers) e temperada de diferentes maneiras. Normalmente usa-se sal grosso (coarse salt), como vocês podem ver na imagem acima. Às vezes você pode adicionar pimentão e fatias de cebola ao espeto, ou talvez bacon! Também pode comer o queijo coalho, que é uma espécie de queijo de leite de vaca leve e estridente, grelhado cerca de 5 minutos até dourar e mantém a consistência e a forma mesmo depois de grelhado. Também um dos meus outros pratos favoritos é o pão de alho (garlic bread).

Os espetinhos são tradicionalmente servidos com rodelas de limão que se espreme sobre a carne e se pode cobrir ou enrolar a carne na farofa. A farofa é muito popular no Brasil e pode ser adicionada a quase todas as refeições. Dá para ver nas fotos acima, está na tigela pequena, um pó dourado. Farofa é uma mistura de mandioca temperada ou farinha de milho e você pode adicionar temperos e talvez alguns pedacinhos de carne defumada. Molho de alho também vai bem com espetos brasileiros, dá para ver nas fotos, é o molho branco da tigela.

The meat is barbecued on skewers (espetinhos) and seasoned in different ways. Usually coarse salt (sal grosso) is used, like you can see in the image above. Sometimes you can add sweet peppers and slices of onion to the skewer, or maybe bacon! You can also have queijo coalho, which is a kind of light, squeaky cow’s-milk cheese, grilled for about 5 minutes until golden brown and it retains it's consistency and form even after it's grilled. Also one of my other favourites is garlic bread (pão de alho).

Espetinhos are traditionally served with slices of lime that you squeeze onto the meat and you can coat or roll the meat in farofa. Farofa is very popular in Brazil and can be added to almost any meal. You can see it in the pics above, it is in the small bowl, a golden powder. Farofa is seasoned cassava or corn flour mixture and you can add spices and maybe some small pieces of smoked meat. Garlic sauce also goes well with Brazilian skewers, you can see it in the pics, it is the white sauce in the bowl.







Some close-ups of the espetinhos/skewers

Below is some of the menu that we could chose from. Alcatra is steak or rump steak, carne is meat. Kafta is made from ground or minced meat and seasoned. The one we had was filled with cream cheese. Frango = chicken, cebola = onion, pimentão = sweet pepper. Tulipinha is a kind of cut of meat, the one on the menu is made from chicken wings. Coracão = chicken hearts! Linguiça is sausage, alho = garlic, tomate seco = dried tomato. Panceta is pork.



In the second menu below you have: broccoli = brócolis, carrot = cenora, sweet potato = batata doce, honey = mel, sesame = gergelim, lime = limão.




This is the place we went to to eat espetinhos: Maryas Espetaria
