Unless you are an ultra-crazed Disney fan or someone who has taken on the challenge of viewing every Disney animated theatrical film, you may never have heard of Saludos Amigos<\/a>. Released in 1942, this live action\/animated movie is actually four mini films in one and is set in Latin America.\u00a0 <\/span>It stars everyone’s favorite duck for 2 of the films, Goofy in another, and debuts Jose Carioca (most recognizable from the Gran Fiesta Tour attraction in the Mexico pavilion at Epcot).<\/p>\n For our Saludos Amigos movie meal, I drew inspiration from one of my favorite kiosks at Epcot’s Food and Wine Festival<\/a>; Brazil.\u00a0 <\/span>Brazil always has great food and beverages, with the added bonus that they are usually all gluten free! So I pulled up menus from previous festivals to see what our options were for dinner.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n Since crispy pork belly seemed like it might be outside my realm of cooking skills, I settled on something that was more easily achievable.\u00a0 <\/span>I made escondidinho de carne, or “little hidden one”, which is a layered meat pie with mashed yucca on top.\u00a0 <\/span>Think Brazilian shepherd’s pie.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n The hard part was finding yucca, not exactly a common ingredient in New England.\u00a0 <\/span>Luckily, a nearby supermarket has a fairly extensive exotic produce department and they carry yucca.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n To go along with our meat pie, I made a batch of pao de queijo, which is Brazilian cheese bread.\u00a0 <\/span>These are seriously addicting and super easy to make, one batch fills a mini muffin tin and there are never leftovers.<\/p>\n This just leaves dessert.\u00a0 <\/span>There are no desserts on the Food and Wine menu for Brazil, so research was involved.\u00a0 <\/span>Plenty of options in the dessert department, however some of them seemed too complicated or required ingredients that I was not going to be able to find in my neck of the woods.\u00a0 <\/span>I found a recipe for brigadeiros, which are Brazilian fudge balls. They are incredibly rich and chocolatey, plus easy to make and only need 4 ingredients, all of which I already had in my kitchen: condensed milk, butter, cocoa powder, and chocolate sprinkles. A messy project, but definitely worth it!<\/p>\n If you are looking for a fun, Disney-themed movie night, I would highly recommend giving Saludos Amigos<\/a> a try.\u00a0 <\/span>You can`t go wrong with Goofy learning to be a gaucho or Donald touring Brazil, all while enjoying your cheese bread and brigadeiros! It is a delicious way to learn a little something about Latin American.\u00a0 <\/span>And who knows, maybe you will be adding some Brazilian dishes to your meal rotation, we certainly did!<\/p>\n Until next time…<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Did you like this article?
