Node Midwest the earth shapes the flavors and the water sustains life. I joke that here is a fruit and a fish for each day of the year, such the diversity of fauna and flora we find for these bands. And this wealth translates into the kitchen, which beautifully mixes indigenous influences, drove customs and pantanal inheritances.
You have heard of guavira ? Or even jaracatiá ? Experienced piraputanga , pacu , golden and Painted baked ? These raw materials and another plurality of ingredients form a little of what I could experience in the region for the special season CNN Viagem & Gastronomy : Flavors from Brazil.
The journey through the Midwest could not start in a more “beautiful” way, since I stepped in Bonito, Mato Grosso do Sul to dive into your rivers, enter your trails, bathe in waterfalls and, of course, enjoy the rich local cuisine.
Pacu and Pantanal Barbecue
The chef Magda Moraes, behind the Cassava restaurant in Campo Grande, met with me in Sanctuary Farm my little house on the days when I was in beautiful.
Imagine a big house with open environments, modern furniture, cozy atmosphere, infinity pool and green landscapes to lose sight. All this crowned with a neat kitchen, which invites us to celebrations around the stove and the table.
This is what I did next to Magda, who prepared a pacu roasted on the banana leaf Stuffed with banana farofa from the land, served with rice of guariroba and pirão. From entrance, a piranha broth with Paraguayan soup opened the paths. It was that meal of repeating the plate.
Pantanal cuisine is a plurality. It is a way of experiencing the experience of the people of the Pantanal, being the portrait of the Pantanal man

While she prepared Pacu, we toast the meeting with a caipirinha de tereré made with grinding mate more grossly, different from mate, for example, which has the thinner herb.
For dinner, another tradition: the Pantanal barbecue . He is improvised on the floor and, at the time, we prepared a rib end and a surtum, a typically a pantanal cut that is Intangible Heritage of the City of Corumbá .
Accompanied by a beautiful salad, the cuts could only be appreciated after the touch of the Berrante, a symbolic act that kicks the cattle.
