Tutu de feijao (pronounced tout-tout de phay-jon) is a traditional dish and, again you need cassava flour, bought in special international food stores.

1/2 cup of cassava/manioc flour
1/2 tspoon of sugar
4 tbspoons of oil
500g of kidney beans (also known as red beans)
2 cloves of garlic, chopped
salt and pepper

Put the beans in a pan with enough water to cover over 3cm above the beans line. Put the lid on and cook in low heat until soft (very soft). Drain it and mash it.

Heat up the oil and fry the garlic and sugar. When the sugar starts to golden, add the pepper (let it fry a bit), the mashed beans and the cassava/manioc flour. Mix it all with a wood spoon until it starts to come off the bottom of the pan. Season with salt.
