 +====== Parana Cuisine ======
  
 +==== Barreado ====
 +The most iconic dish of Paraná! A centuries-old meat stew slow-cooked in a clay pot, sealed with a flour paste. Traditionally eaten with cassava flour and banana — a fascinating mix of savory and sweet. [([[https://chefleticia.com/barreado-brazilian-beef-shank-stew/|Chef Leticia]])]
 +
 +==== Pierogi (Pirogue à moda do Paraná) ====
 +Introduced by Polish immigrants and adapted locally — dumplings filled with cheese, potatoes, or meat, often pan-fried and served with cream or butter. [([[https://madisonsfootsteps.com/how-to-make-traditional-polish-pierogi/|Madison's Footstep]])]
 +
 +==== Pintado na Telha ====
 +River fish like pintado (catfish) baked in a ceramic roof tile, similar to dishes in coastal Brazil — often with a coconut or tomato-based sauce. [([[https://www.paranaturismo.pr.gov.br/Turista/Pagina/Pintado-na-telha|Parana Turismo]])]
 +
 +==== Porco no Rolete ====
 +A whole pig slow-roasted on a spit, usually at festivals or large family gatherings. Crispy outside, tender inside — a spectacle and a feast! [([[https://foreignersincuritiba.wordpress.com/2014/03/31/getting-to-know-the-gastronomy-of-parana/|Foreigners in Curitiba]])]
 +
 +==== Quirera com Costelinha ====
 +A rustic dish made with coarsely ground corn (quirera) and pork ribs, slow-cooked with herbs and vegetables. It’s a local comfort food, very filling. [([[https://youtu.be/rKV7TrQOUDM|YouTube]])]
 +
 +==== Feijão Tropeiro à Paranaense ====
 +Unlike the Minas version, this is a bean and cassava flour dish with bacon, sausage, eggs, and bits of dried meat — inspired by the old tropeiros (muleteers) who crossed Paraná. [([[https://delishglobe.com/recipe/brazilian-feijao-tropeiro-tropeiro-beans/|Delish Globe]])]
 +
 +==== Aipim Frito com Queijo Colonial ====
 +Fried cassava served with local colonial cheese — a simple but beloved side dish or snack, especially in rural areas. [([[https://foodviewberlin.com/2013/08/18/bolinhos-de-mandioca-com-queijo/|FoodView Berlin]])]
 +
 +==== Cebola Recheada à Curitiba ====
 +Onions stuffed with ground beef, cheese, and herbs, baked until tender — a lesser-known specialty from Curitiba’s home kitchens. [([[https://sammymontgoms.com/stuffed-onions/|Sammy Montgoms]])]
 +
 +==== Frango com Polenta ====
 +A southern Brazilian classic — braised chicken served with creamy or fried polenta, often flavored with tomato sauce and herbs. [([[https://braziliankitchenabroad.com/brazilian-stew-chicken-recipe/|Brazilian Kitchen Abroad]])]
 +
 +==== Carne de Onça ====
 +Despite the name ("Jaguar meat"), it's actually raw minced beef seasoned with onion, garlic, and spices, spread on rye bread. Curitiba’s bold version of steak tartare! [([[https://cidadeseducadoras.curitiba.pr.gov.br/gastronomia/?locale=en|Cidades Educadoras]])]
 +
 +==== Repolho Recheado ====
 +Stuffed cabbage rolls (inspired by Ukrainian and German immigrants), filled with meat and rice, baked in tomato sauce. [([[https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/21732/ukrainian-cabbage-rolls/|All Recipes]])]
 +
 +==== Carneiro no Buraco ====
 +“Lamb in the hole” — literally! Marinated lamb and vegetables are slow-cooked in a pit oven dug into the ground, a dish typical of the city of Campo Mourão. [([[https://foreignersincuritiba.wordpress.com/2014/03/31/getting-to-know-the-gastronomy-of-parana/|Foreigners in Curitiba]])]
 +
 +==== Pão Sovado ====
 +A soft, lightly sweet bread with a rich texture — common in Paraná bakeries and used for sandwiches or just slathered in butter. [([[https://senseandedibility.com/pan-sobao-puerto-rican-bread/|Sense and Edibility]])]
 +
 +==== Sopa Paraguaia ====
 +Not actually a soup! A savory cornmeal and cheese cake that comes from neighboring Paraguay, but is popular in Paraná’s border region. [([[https://brasilagosto.org/en/paraguayan-soup-is-not-a-soup/|Brasil a Gosto]])]
 +
 +==== Doce de Butiá ====
 +A dessert made from butiá, a small wild palm fruit with a tangy flavor, turned into jams, syrups, or mousse — a delightful and lesser-known treat. [([[https://www.reddit.com/r/gardening/comments/7qjuei/these_are_little_jelly_palm_fruit_called_buti%C3%A1_in/?rdt=38168|Reddit]])]
