Tutu de feijão

Instructions

1. The day before, soak the dried beans in cold water. Drain them, then cook in a large pan covered with water with the bay leaf for about 1 h 30, until very tender.
2. Cut the bacon into small cubes and fry it dry in a pan for 5 minutes to render the fat and make it crispy.
3. Add the oil, sliced onion and chopped garlic to the pan, then sweat everything for 5 minutes over medium heat.
4. Mash some of the cooked beans roughly with a fork or potato masher, then add them to the pan with the bacon and onion.
5. Stir in the cassava flour, stirring constantly for 3 to 4 minutes, until the mixture becomes thick and holds together like a purée.
6. Season with cumin, salt and pepper, then add the chopped parsley and spring onion.
7. Meanwhile, cook the rice and fried eggs for serving.
8. Serve the tutu piping hot in deep bowls, with the rice and a fried egg per person.
