Paçoca
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Paçoca is the name of two totally different Brazilian dishes:
In northeastern Brazil, especially in Fortaleza, Ceará, and in Rio Grande do Norte, it's a dish made of carne de sol (sun-dried beef), cassava flour and red onions, ground together in a mortar (pilão), for which reason it's also known as paçoca de pilão in the rest of Brazil.
In other regions of Brazil, paçoca is a kind of candy made of ground peanuts and sugar. It begun as a home-made candy, but today it's manufactured commercially and can be found in supermarkets and shops.
