Melhor Dendê oil para cozinhar em casa
Para que serve Dendê oil, em que cozinhas aparece e onde encontrar.
Por que começar aqui
The orange-red oil that makes Bahian food taste like Bahia: dendê in moqueca, acarajé, and vatapá.
Use it late, and use less than you think. Dendê will stain a wooden spoon and a white shirt. It wants coconut milk, chile, cilantro, and seafood or dried shrimp. Heat it gently; burning it turns the perfume bitter.
If you cannot find dendê, say so. Palm oil from a West African market is the closest cousin. Olive oil is not a substitute. It is a different country.
