Brazilian Black Bean Puree (Tutu a Mineira)
Report
This Brazilian Black Bean Puree, Tutu a Mineira, is Brazilian comfort food that is rich, hearty, and full of smoky, garlicky flavor. Made with blended black beans, crispy bacon, and farinha de mandioca (Brazilian cassava flour), this recipe is thick, creamy, and irresistibly satisfying. It’s the perfect way to turn leftover beans into something even more delicious, whether as a side dish or a meal on its own.

Notes
- Recipe Notes:
- Canned beans are not recommended - Your Tutu de Feijão will only be as good as the beans recipe you are starting with to ensure the beans and the liquid are already flavorful. You can use any seasoned leftover beans you have. The leftover recipe I used for these photos was the Vegan Black Beans, but my Brazilian Black Beans recipe on the site also works wonderfully!
- Farinha de mandioca/Brazilian Cassava Flour (not to be confused with tapioca flour) is easy to find on Brazilian markets all over the world, online, and even on Amazon.
