Simple Farofa - Brasil  

The ingredients:

• ½ kilo de farinha de mandioca (manioc flour)
• 3 colheres de sopa de manteiga (3 tablespoons of butter)
• garlic and onion golden in the butter
• salt to taste

When the manioc flour is toasted, the Brazilians call it Farofa.

Heat a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the butter, the garlic and the onion until golden. Add the manioc flour and stir slowly until the flour has a lightly toasted color and is warm throughout.  Serve it as an accompaniment.
