Kitchen matogrossensis

River fish and the menus prepared very palatably from them are the delicacies in this region. Particularly the "Pintado" (Pseudoplastystoma corruscans) one skin fish (catfish) without sheds and without fish-bones is a delicacy. One of the most traditional preparation forms from this fish is the so-called "Mojica", a typical speciality from the kitchen of the "Pantanal". To this piece of sirloin cubes of the fish are seasoned, cooked together with tomatoes, onions, cassava pieces, with bouquet garni and coriander. You more stands on fried fish, the rib piece of the "Pacu" (Piaractus mesopotamicus) can be recommended or if when it would, claim the Cuiabanos of this again and again if one has cost him once, pull one back "Ventrecha" here!  

As free gifts are usual: Cooked rice, "Farofa de Banana", this is, fried roasted cassava flour mixed bananas extra and the before described "Pirão" with cassava flour angedickter court-bouillon with banana bits. And, if you only long for an apéritif for example to the beer, then fried fillets "of the Piraputanga (Brycon microlepis)" are quite exquisite.  

Also you can always freshly practically by the way get the fish in Cuiabá of the catch and one tastes this. On the other hand, the close of the fish, the "Piracema", the catch forbids - the restaurants manage between November until February (you are not anyway here in the Pantanal because it then rains for days sometimes and the inundations also hinder the tourism) during this time - if with frozen goods.  

You also can of course get a dry Weisswein in Cuiabá to a good fish or a sharp red one to the meat of your "Churrasco". And of course both from Brazil. Meanwhile, one the local production does not only have itself at quantity but also in her quality primarily and, he you will see, one serves him also in hot Brazil with the right temperature by a little here supercooledly, then in Cuiabá the "room temperature" just is not the desired 20 °C and the wine drinks itself more pleasantly in this heat even if he is a couple of degree cooler, improved considerably! Particularly the white one.
