"Rabada"

After a busy while, im back to the blog. These last 2 weeks of my culinary course took all my time, but now im back on posting.
This recipe can be considered traditionally from brasil, and also is very popular in my country.The brazilian name of this dish is "Rabada". The meat looks like the italian "ossobuco" but it's from the tail of the cow. The meat is very high in fat, wich make it taste even better.



What you gonna need:
1kg of cow tail cut in around 8centimeters
200g of chopped tomatoes
300g of chopped onions
200g of chopped carrots
salt and pepper as you like.

How to do:
Remove the excessive fat of the meat. Then in a hot frying pan, cook the pieces of meat untill its in a nicely browny-gold colour. Then add all the ingredients in a pressure cooker, add water to cover all the ingredients, and cook for about 1h30 minutes.
You can either serve with the juice the meat was cooked, or you can make a "pirao" wichs consists in add corn flour or manioc flour in to that juice, and cook for about 10min.
Also, serving with watercress is a good option.
