About Arroz carreteiro
Arroz Carreteiro is a traditional Brazilian dish originating from the southern region, particularly linked to gaucho culture. It’s a hearty one-pot meal typically made with rice, dried beef (or charque), onions, garlic, and a variety of seasonings, often enhanced with tomatoes or parsley for added flavor and color. Known for its rich, smoky taste, this dish was historically prepared by cattle drivers due to its simplicity and reliance on non-perishable ingredients. Nutritionally, Arroz Carreteiro offers a good source of carbohydrates from the rice and protein from the dried beef, which helps in energy production and muscle maintenance. However, its sodium content may be high due to the cured meat, so portion control is recommended, especially for individuals monitoring salt intake. The inclusion of vegetables like onion and parsley adds vitamins and antioxidants, enhancing its overall nutritional profile while balancing its hearty base.
