Baião De Dois

• Origin: Brazil
• Common Ingredients: rice, beans, queijo coalho

Baião de dois is a dish originating from the Brazilian state of Ceará, typical of the Northeast Region and parts of the North Region, such as Rondônia, Acre, Amazonas and Pará. It consists of a preparation of rice and beans, preferably Brazilian beans such as "feijão verde" or "feijão novo". It is common to add queijo coalho. Dried meat is not added in Ceará. In Paraíba and in Pernambuco, there is a variant called rubacão, a dish that is very popular in the Sertão. Baião, being a mixture of two elements of Brazilian cuisine appreciated and easily accessible, rice and beans, is very common in rural areas. It is commonly made mainly at night so that the rest of the baked beans can be used during the day.
