AuthorNote: Florida's ethnic cooking is dominated by our Cuban,
Nicaraguan, and Colombian communities. But at least 20,000 Brazilians live
in south Florida and the number is growing steadily. The recipe for this
carrot sauce comes from a musician friend named mark Sandman, who spent
several years in Brazil. It's especially good with yuca fingers, also
fried cassava, poached [2Favorite] and grilled [cFavorites].
ChupaNotes: Makes a wonderful cold rice dish with leftover rice and beans.
Sprinkle with red pepper flakes.
