Feijao Tropeiro[edit]
Feijão tropeiro is a Brazilian bean dish typical of the Southeast region, being the most popular in the state of Minas Gerais. It is made of beans, toasted manioc flour (farinha), and dried meat (usually pork). Usually, feijão tropeiro is served with white rice, fried pork cracklins (torresmo), an egg on the top, and oranges on the side. It is deeply connected to soccer and night life in the state of Minas Gerais[1][2].
Origins[edit]
The dish has its origins back in the 17th century. Its name come from the tropeiros – merchants that used to sell horses, mules, and food between the south and southeast regions of Brazil. [3]As they were always on the backs of horses and mules, they needed a dish that was light and easy to transport with them, so they created the feijão tropeiro, which was made initially of beans, manioc flour, and dried meat.[4]
Evolution[edit]
As the time went by, this food became very popular and evolved. Feijão tropeiro became a richer dish with the addition of other types of meat such as calabresa sausage, fried pork belly, and bacon. It also included collard greens and a fried egg on top. The dish today is served with white rice, collard greens, and a slice of orange on the side.
