Pirarucu de Casaca

Pirarucu de Casaca is a traditional Brazilian dish from the Amazon region, made with dried pirarucu fish, bananas, and cassava flour.

Ingredients - Serves 6

Soak the dried pirarucu in water for 24 hours, changing the water several times.
Drain the fish and shred it into small pieces.
Heat the olive oil in a large pan and sauté the onions and garlic until soft.
Add the fish to the pan and cook for a few minutes.
Add the bananas and cook until they are soft.
Gradually add the cassava flour, stirring constantly to prevent lumps from forming.
Season with salt and pepper and stir in the chopped parsley.
Transfer the mixture to a baking dish and top with the sliced hard-boiled eggs.
Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for about 20 minutes, or until the top is golden brown.
