    Brazilian Caldo de Ovos Recipe:
    Recipe by Chef Christiano Campos
    • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
    • ½ yellow onion, chopped
    • 2 tablespoons chopped bell pepper (any color)
    • 4 garlic cloves, minced
    • 1 tablespoon minced biquinho chili pepper (or another mild chili pepper)
    • ¾ pound (350 grams) lean ground beef
    • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
    • 2 beef bouillon cubes, crumbled
    • 1 teaspoon urucum (or paprika)
    • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
    • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
    • 4 tablespoons tomato extract
    • 8 cups (2 liters) water
    • 4-6 eggs
    • 1 cup (125 grams) fine grind cassava flour
    • Juice from ½ of a lime
    • 1 handful chopped cilantro (or parsley)
    Directions:
    • Mix the Worcestershire sauce, onion, bell pepper, garlic and biquinho pepper with the ground beef in a bowl and set aside.
    • In a stockpot, heat olive oil over high heat, and sauté the ground beef. Reduce the heat to medium-low and allow to cook for about 5 minutes or until the beef has browned but is still moist.
    • Add bouillon cubes, ground cumin, black pepper and urucum (or paprika) to the pot and stir, cooking for another 5 minutes or so, until most of the liquid from the beef and vegetables has evaporated. Add the tomato paste and stir to combine.
    • Add 6 cups (1 ½ liters) of water and stir, removing any bits that may have stuck to the bottom of the pan with a spoon.
    • Once the soup comes to a boil, lower the heat back to medium-low and break the eggs into the pot, slowly stirring with a spoon so they cook as stringy pieces. Ideally, you’ll have one cooked yolk per person, which is why we indicate a range of eggs in the ingredients list.
    • In a bowl, mix the cassava flour with the remaining 2 cups (500 ml) of water, and with a spoon, slowly add the flour and water mix to the pot, stirring with each spoonful, so it does not clump. Keep stirring for another 5 minutes or until the flour has fully cooked. If you do get clumps, press them against the edge of the pot to disintegrate them. It’s okay if you’re left with some smaller balls of flour at the end, focus on breaking up the bigger ones.
    • Turn off the heat and add the lime juice and chopped cilantro. Taste and adjust seasoning and salt. Stir and serve hot in bowls, topped with chopped scallions, or more cilantro, or add a spoonful of dried or roasted cassava flour or farofa for some crunch.

      @@tjiloveconducting There really is no right in or wrong spelling. There are many versions of the khichri/ khichdi. The simplest version is just boil rice, moong lentils (moong Dal) together with salt and turmeric. Then add a tadka of little ghee with mustard seeds and Cumin.
      I also make it with moong sprouts and rice. I soak the green moong sprouts the night before and then boil it with rice. I add veggies like carrots, beans, potatoes etc to make it nutritious and one dish meal. The tadka is important here. I add cumin seeds, crushed pepper and dessicated coconut with ghee. Sometimes I use fresh coconut for a change. My kids gobble this up. I am happy that they are eating veggies.

    • @VictoryNibbles
      @VictoryNibbles 3 года назад +274

      Not really. There are plenty of countries that traditionally did not have rice, or barely ate rice - with it only becoming available or popular as both international trade and the trade of food culture become faster and easier. Some people would look at that and ask why someone ruined the rice, while others might ask why you didn't just make the porridge with something like oats (or whatever grain is most popular/available there). I've heard of countries where porridge isn't even a concept at all, as well as some where a porridge was more a wealth than a health issue. There are, though, TONS of cultures with some kind of porridge, and rice is a super easy and popular grain for it in Asia and the Middle East (even in to a fair amount of Europe). Being from the U.S., I can tell you all rice porridges we have were (like most things in the U.S.) brought in by immigrants, and oatmeal is the MUCH more popular (for when you're sick or even just for breakfast). Some parts of the Southern U.S. prefer grits to oatmeal, but most of the U.S. just loves oatmeal.

E coentro no final. Não sei mesmo como é o preparo e tudo que ia dentro. Era a comida pros que estavam doentes e tb pros ressacados kkkkkkk

      From what I've recently learned, it's a mash of a lot of cultural origins there, too. Being from the U.S., I'd normally heard we'd had the market cornered on being the 'cultural melting pot of the world' (even from people from other countries around the world); then I recently learned that your country actually has us even beat in some regards. It's always cool to learn new stuff like that.
      Luckily, I'd also learned more than a year ago how good Pão de Queijo is.

This is one of my dad's favorite dishes and it brings me a lot of affective memories. Great research and reproduction. Congratulations!

    I feel like sick foods vs pop food is one of the best ways to understand traveller vs tourist vibes. Trying out the sick foods of a country really gets you to understand how people actually like their food and what makes them comfortable. And when you factor in that many large countries have dishes that are extremely region specific lets you understand the history and culture of the place.

    Beryl, too many steps for the congee. You could’ve done everything in the instant pot all at once. The rice is broken up during the cooking process, you didn’t need to do that part manually. Half an hour with the right amount of liquid in instant pot and you’re good to go. Just for next time. 👍

    The first time I had "century egg" was when I was helping to care for a Vietnamese toddler (I'm a homecare nurse). Grandma lived with the family, and often would offer me breakfast. One morning it was a congee dish with shredded chicken ( I think), shrimp, egg, and what I thought were mushrooms. Grandma had just said there was "egg" in the dish. I got about halfway through my bowl when I realized the "mushrooms" I was eating were actually the "egg" she mentioned. Aha! I was put off for about half a second, but they didn't taste weird or anything. Actually, that turned out to be my favorite breakfast she would make. The little toddler got better, and I haven't worked with the family for a few years now, but I still miss that dish! I would love to learn how to make it!

    My heart beat a little faster when I found out congee was among the dishes. I lived in Malaysia as a teenager and congee was not just a sick food but also a breakfast food/comfort food. I absolutely love it and my daughter grew up on it whenever it was chilly or when she wasn’t feeling well - minus the century egg because they’re almost impossible to get. So in our family, a Southeast Asian sick food has nestled itself in the Belgian countryside and is there to stay.
    The version I make has broth or stock, ginger, a dash of sesame oil, some times some 5-spice powder, maybe a little garlic, and depending on what we feel like or what’s in the house, fish, chicken, or salted pork. We never blend the rice, just double or triple the rime normal rice would need in the Instant Pot.
    I recently served congee to my boyfriend because he wasn’t feeling well. He gobbled it up. Said it was exactly what he needed. I think it was the combination of a warm dish, the easy eating, easily digested starch and protein and the ginger.

    Also an interesting fact about kichidi dish in India is that it is usually baby’s first solid food...a simple kichidi of rice, moong daal, turmeric & ghee mashed up or blended is usually given to them when they are ready for solids...as they grow older more veggies and mild spices are introduced in the dish. Super healthy and easily digestible for tiny tummies.

    I wanted to first thank you for including Armenia in this video; I’m so happy for the representation of my culture and I truly appreciate it ❤️ I also wanted to add-just for fun-that another famous dish that I grew up with (and hated, not going to lie) was called khash. It is made from boiling hooves (usually cow hooves) for hours. It makes a sort of bone broth. It is also a celebratory food; but, my family only made it for sick or injured people. We always believed it was on par with “magic” because a cousin of mine was in a terrible accident and was paralyzed. His mother forced him to eat khash several times a day for months and he recovered enough to rehabilitate himself through therapy and he was able to walk again! Of course, I can’t vouch for any potential medicinal properties of khash, but this story is circulated in my family constantly and I just wanted to share with someone who may be interested

      @Jeremiah Fornshell ?? My friend. Simple remedies can work very well. Pickle, lemon, fermented dairy also, like kumis, kefir. But I make a soup named “solyanka” for hangover. There is also a soup named “khash” from caucuses area that also helps greatly, but preparation is more challenging.

      @Jeremiah Fornshell I'm from Europe so our mcdonald's is a bit better quality than in north america but it's the only thing that works for me, the right balance of salt and a nice cold coke

    I’m Brazilian and I was so expecting “Canja de Galinha”!! I was excited about it hahaha I’ve never heard about this other dish, but Brazil is so rich in culture and different flavors, so that’s ok!

    So happy I found this. I'm super interested in our connection between food and each other. Your video popped up because I have been watching a lot of travel and cooking shows (still in full isolation as I have an autoimmune disease).

    Why do I feel like your whole channel is a collection of PBS episodes? I love it! The sense of community across the world and how intimate food is with each of our cultures! Your approach is perfect, and I can't wait for next week's episode!

    I’m Cuban and I don’t know if it’s a Cuban thing or just my family but when I was sick as a kid, especially tummy sick, my mom would make white rice with a fried egg on top and a lot of salt. It was super simple but also super delicious and it’s very nostalgic for me every time I make it. I also got lots of chicken noodle soup when I was sick, but the fried eggs and rice were what I remember eating when I felt the most sick

    I'm indonesian, never seen anyone make rice porridge by blending the rice before. My mum just keeps cooking the rice until it gets to the correct texture.

    12:35 I think the term is "fuller mouth feel", like, it's not a watery, runny soup, and the corn meal/cassava flour makes it heartier. The closest we have to that "sensation" here in the Philippines I think is with a noodle soup dish called lomi - it's basically egg noodles in a thick beef broth.

      i doubt about Lomi being a sick man's food.. its thick soup and thick noodles makes it difficult to digest
