Ovos com Farofa

Ovos com Farofa is a traditional Brazilian dish that combines fluffy scrambled eggs with a crispy, savory toasted cassava flour mixture, known as farofa. This delightful breakfast is a perfect blend of textures and flavors, embodying the essence of Brazilian cuisine while adhering to a Paleo diet.

Ingredients

• Eggs - 4 large
• Cassava flour - 100 grams
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Onion - 1 small, finely chopped
• Salt - to taste
• Black pepper - to taste
• Parsley - 2 tablespoons, chopped (for garnish)

Steps

1. In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until they are translucent and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
2. Add the cassava flour to the skillet, stirring continuously for about 5-7 minutes until it turns golden brown and crispy. Season with salt and black pepper to taste, then remove from heat.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper until well combined.
4. In another skillet, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Pour the whisked eggs into the skillet and cook, stirring gently, until the eggs are just set but still creamy, about 3-4 minutes.
5. To serve, place the scrambled eggs on a plate and top with the crispy farofa. Garnish with chopped parsley.
