Ingredients
Sprinkles sweet - 1 cup
water - 100ml
dried meat - 100g

mozzarella cheese - a slice (20g)
oregano - a pinch
How to prepare this recipeyou must first prepare the tapioca powder.
put a cup of Sprinkles sweet in a bowl. Add 100ml of water and mix well until they turn one with small flakes flour.
Then you can sift and put the powder in a frying pan spreading.
I like to prepare my tapioca with different fillings. I'll prepare one of the most traditional in Brazil: We will prepare the filling of dry meat with cheese.
Cook the dried meat in water. After 10 minutes change the water and cook for more 10 minutes. That way you will have taken part of the met Salt .
Cut the meat into small pieces removing fat. Place the pieces in a skillet with olive oil and let fry a bit.
Cut a few pieces of onion and mix with dried meat and fry some more.
Now that the filling are ready we will prepare tapioca:
remember that you do not need to oil or butter before cook! The flour will stick alone and stay in a "pancake-shaped" in a few minutes.
Place the tapioca powder already screened in a frying pan.
Turn the fire on and watch the powder begin to stick and become a mass. But it will not stick to the pan.
Place the dried meat filling on the half of tapioca, then place pieces of mozzarella cheese and oregano on top.
Fold the tapioca mass in half, covering the filling. Let a few more minutes in the fire to melt the cheese.
Okay, now just enjoy
The story behind this recipeI leave in Rio de Janeiro, Brasil.
after I finished college, I decided to travel during for 4 months and get to know my country, which is so big.
About 1 month after I had traveled a lot and I was in the state of Bahia, It was about 1600 km from Rio de Janeiro, and 400 km from Salvador, the capital of Bahia state.
There, I met a beautiful girl, She was clearly daughter of Indians, with reddish skin and beautiful black hair. She with her family, had a small stall selling tapioca in the square at night.
We became friends, and I have fallen in love with her. After one week even being so connected to her, I needed to continue my journey. And then she prepared me a tapioca to take and eat while traveling. I had already eaten tapioca in different parts of Brazil, but that tapioca she prepared me on the last day, with cheese and bits of dried meat was the most delicious I've eaten in my life.
