Pao de Queijo
Pao de queljo, you can't not go to Minas and not taste one of their Brazilian recipes such as Pao de queljo (Cheese Sandwiches). It's like I've never been there. Cheese bread is one of the greatest symbols of Minas Gerais cuisine. Such is the richness of gastronomy in Minas Gerais. However, cheese bread wins in versatility, being a food for any time, especially with a little coffee.
Despite the name "bread", it should not be made with flour, but with Polvilho azedo ( cassava starch ) which is a product derived from cassava. The story goes that this recipe appeared on the Minas Gerais farms in the quest to replace wheat flour in some dishes, at a time when access to flour was scarce.
