Arrumadinho is a delightful Brazilian dish that features a harmonious layering of beans, dried meat, and vegetables.

This dish has its origins in the northeastern region of Brazil, where it is a staple in many households and often enjoyed during family gatherings and celebrations.

To prepare Arrumadinho, start by cooking the beans until they are tender. While the beans are cooking, prepare the dried meat by cooking and shredding it. Next, sauté the tomatoes and onions until they are soft and fragrant. Once all the components are ready, layer the beans, meat, vegetables, and cassava flour in a serving dish.

Customization is key with Arrumadinho. You can add other vegetables or spices to suit your taste. Some people like to add a bit of cilantro for extra flavor or even a touch of hot sauce for a spicy kick.

In Brazil, Arrumadinho is typically served as a main dish, often accompanied by rice and a side of farofa, which is toasted cassava flour. It is a hearty and satisfying meal that is perfect for any occasion.

While Arrumadinho is a delicious and nutritious dish, it is also quite filling. If you are watching your calorie intake, you may want to enjoy it in moderation or pair it with a light salad to balance out the meal.
