Default Brazilian Cuzcuz Recipe

XPSAL..I could not find my recipe because I remembered I aked my mom on the phone to teach me lollllllllllllllllllll.
But I found in my book another one very similar to mine ok?
Remember to read all the recipe before doing it..


CUZCUZ DE FRANGO RÁPIDO = FAST CHICKEN CUZCUZ PREPARATION

INGREDIENTS :
2 cups (tea) oil
2 chopped onions
1 can - tomato sauce (industrialized)
1 small can - palm cabbage (lol this is difficult to find I guess- so if you do not have no problems, ok?)
1 can - peas
2 pieces of chicken breast no bones and very thinned chopped (like in threads)
100 grams of olives
about 1/2 of maize flour (it comes in little flakes and not powdered)
1/2 cup (tea) of raw manioc flour (powdered)
salt, black pepper and parsley as you wish
eggs - **well the quantity you decide, but to give you an idea, it requires some to put in the cuzcuz and others to decorate it outside - I use about 6 eggs - I put about 3 sliced outside and 3 chopped inside.
sliced tomatoes to decorate it outside - the same happens with the tomatoes but about 2 or 3 to decorate outside is enough.

PREPARING IT..

Put the 2 cups of oil in a big (or high) pan and the onions, chicken, salt, pepper and the tomato sauce. Cook them and then add the peas, palm cabbage and parsley, mayze and manioc flour, olives and 3 chopped eggs. Cook it well. Take an aluminium bown and spread a bit of oil and wheat flour over this oil ( so the cuzucuz will leave this bowl easily), and put the cuzcuz inside this aluminium bow. Use your hands to tight the cuzcuz in the bow, because it need to make the bowl shape and release the bow without break or unmake its shape. (lol - this is the worst for me ahahaha)
Take a plate and put the bow upside down to release the cuzcuz on it.
Decorate its exterior with some sliced tomatoes and eggs. Voila !! Bon apetit!!

ATTACHED WITH THE RECIPE, I SHOW YOU SOME DIFFERENT CUZCUZ DECORATIONS JUST TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA..
