Por que começar aqui

Angu is cooked the way Minas cooks it — salt judged by hand, fat used generously, and the table set for sharing. This is the home version, written down the way a brazilian family cook actually puts it on the table.

Angu, a comforting dish with roots deep in Minas Gerais, is a staple in Brazilian homes. Its simplicity and warmth make it a beloved choice at family dinners and casual gatherings. Though it shares similarities with Italian polenta, Angu is uniquely Brazilian, reflecting the region's love for hearty, satisfying meals. The dish boasts a smooth, creamy texture and a subtle, earthy flavor from the cornmeal. A hint of garlic and a generous pinch of sea salt bring depth, while a touch of oil adds richness. Angu is meant to be shared, inviting everyone around the table to enjoy its comforting embrace.
