Easy Brazilian recipes
- Difficulty Easy
Ingredients
- We use chimichurri, papaya, cachaça and more
Picanha with bean salad
Picanha is also known as the top sirloin cap or the rump cap. Popular in the US and Brazil, it’s a pointed cut, so is great for serving a crowd as you’ll get well done to rare from the same piece of beef.

Mojito fans in particular will love this light, zesty yet punchy cocktail from Brazil.
Roast chicken coxhina
Coxhina means 'little thigh' in Brazilian, after the meat they're filled with. They make a great street food-inspired snack.

Salpicoa is a typical salad from Brazil, which is quite similar to a waldorf. It might seem strange topping a salad with fries but it really works here.

A passion fruit twist on the punchy Brazilian cocktail, ideal for those warm summer evenings. Find more summer cocktail ideas here.
Brazilian-inspired piri-piri spatchcock poussins
Piri-piri makes the best marinade for grilled chicken or poussins. It's quick and easy to make your own – and we think it tastes so much better. This simple recipe makes a great barbecue dish. Find more BBQ recipes here.
[image id="38798" size="landscape_thumbnail" align="none" title="Brazilian piri piri spatchcocked poussins" alt="Brazilian piri piri spatchcocked poussins" classes=""]Plenty of popular flavours from Brazil are crammed into one epic mouthful here – piri-piri bacon, smoky chimichurri relish, cumin-spiced onion rings, creamy lime and avocado mayo. We have lots more burger recipes over here.
Seafood moqueca stew
Moqueca is a traditional Brazilian fish and coconut stew – this version uses shellfish. Palm oil is often used in Brazilian cooking – look for sustainable organic palm oil to reduce the impact on wildlife and the environment, or leave it out if you prefer.
Papaya with chilli caramel
Try this simple Brazilian-style dessert. The red chilli adds a wonderful kick to the sweetness of the papaya and caramel, making this a light but indulgent pud.
