Tutu de feijão is a traditional Brazilian dish, renowned for its comforting and hearty nature, originating from the states of Minas Gerais and São Paulo. This savory delight is primarily made from cooked and mashed beans, typically black or pinto, which are then thickened with manioc flour (farinha de mandioca) to create a rich, creamy consistency. Often seasoned with garlic, onions, and spices, and sometimes enriched with bits of bacon or sausage, Tutu de feijão is a staple in Brazilian cuisine, celebrated for its robust flavors and its ability to bring warmth and satisfaction to any meal.
