Talk about a foodie dream team! London based Brazilian food blogger Rosana McPhee and 2010 MasterChef winner Dhruv Baker collaborated last night on a Brazil themed feast hosted by supper club extraordinaire Luiz Hara and in celebration of the launch of Tilda brand’s Limited Edition Brazilian Samba Rice.
Whew, that was a mouthful … and a delicious one too as this lucky duck got a spot on the guest list for this especially topical event.
So is Tilda jumping on the 2014 World Cup bandwagon with the limited edition “Samba Rice”? To be sure, but can ya blame ’em? As was confirmed with Rosana and Dhruv’s cooking, Brazilian food means big flavour.
Highlights from the dinner included picanha with pimenta de bico, manteiga de garrafa (rump cap of beef roasted under a blanket of rock salt and served with Brazilian chilli pepper and drizzled with Brazilian clarified butter and roasted garlic); bolinho de arroz (rice fritters made with a mix of dried shrimp, white fish and chicken served with lime and saffron mayonnaise); and caju sorbet (cashew fruit sorbet). But that’s just a thinly sliced recollection of all the treats brought to the graciously set table last night.
And, of course, there was a hearty bowl of Brazilian national dish feijoada – black bean stew with Portuguese sausage, smoked ribs, bacon and more meat along with shredded greens, orange, and toasted cassava flour with Tilda’s new Samba Rice. What a savoury and filling dish!
About Tilda Brazilian Samba Rice
