Baião de dois (Rice and black-eyed peas cooked together)

“Baião de dois” is a classic dish from Northeast Brazil. The recipe comes from the state of Ceará, but can be found all over Brazil, and there are innumerable variations for it.

The curious name of this recipe is an allusion to “Baião” – a Brazilian traditional rhythm – and was immortalized by Humberto Teixeira and Luís Gonzaga in the homonymous popular song. “Baião” style is danced in a close embrace, so as in this recipe rice and beans are cooked together.
