  Rainbow Manioc / Farofa
Farofa is one of the world’s most unusual accompaniments to barbecue, although little known outside its native Brazil.
Farofa (accent on the second syllable) is made from ground dried manioc (also known as cassava), the starchy tuber that gives us tapioca.
A simple farofa is made by sautéing manioc flour in butter or oil with a little onion or garlic for flavor.

Brazilian beef is made from cows just like in the rest of the world, but in Brazil the cows are open range and grass-fed, making for a very lean beef which comes in uniquely Brazilian cuts such as picanha (tender rump steak), fraldinha (bottom sirloin), or alcatra (top sirloin).
Farofa (flour taken from ground manioc root, then baked with oil) has the dry, crumbly consistency of sawdust -- and not coincidentally, that's what it tastes like.
Served plain, farofa's nutty flavor stands up, while allowing it to soak up the juices on your plate only enhances its flavor.

For instance, a bowl of moist and meaty feijoada, a rich fl-bean stew flavored with pork sausage, ham, smoked bacon, and roasted pork, served over rice, with garnishes of farofa, carioca relish (a fresh tomato salsa similar to pico de gallo), and a little pitcher of pepper-lime sauce, summoned up gastronomic memories of jambalaya.
Shrimp baiana, a traditional toss of luscious flash-sautéed shrimp in a light sauce of garlic, scallion, malaguetta pepper, and coconut milk, was all-Brazilian, yet it held a subtle Thai undertone.
And prato misto, the feijoada's meat-free cousin, featured the same smoky fl beans served over rice, this time topped with sautéed carrot, asparagus, corn, summer squash, and bits of mushroom, and a garnish of farofa, carioca relish, and fried spinach; the result was a rustic dish that seemed almost archetypal in its simplicity.
