Galinhada with Farofa and a Fresh Green Salad (includes complimentary surprise dessert)

Experience the comforting flavors of Galinhada, a beloved Brazilian dish that’s as vibrant as it is satisfying. This aromatic chicken and rice stew is infused with fragrant saffron, garlic, onions, bell peppers, and smoky sausage, creating a rich and deeply flavorful meal. The tender, slow-simmered chicken melds beautifully with the golden, savory rice, absorbing every bit of the warm spices and fresh herbs, while the sausage adds a delicious depth of flavor.

To complete this traditional meal, I’m serving it with farofa, a toasted cassava flour dish that adds a delightful crunch and depth of flavor. Lightly seasoned and sautéed with butter, onions, and a hint of smokiness, farofa is a staple in Brazilian cuisine, bringing the perfect contrast in texture to the tender, fragrant Galinhada.

For a refreshing balance, there will also be a simple green salad—a crisp mix of greens and tomatoes, dressed in a bright, citrusy vinaigrette. This fresh addition cuts through the richness of the dish, making every bite even more satisfying.
Made with organic ingredients whenever possible, this dish is a true celebration of Brazilian home cooking—hearty, nourishing, and packed with soul-warming flavors.
