Açai na Tigela
Açaí na tigela ("açaí in the bowl") is a typical Brazilian dish made of frozen and mashed açaí palm fruit from the Amazoninan region. Its preparation in southern Brazil is different than how it is prepared in the Amazonian region. It is served like a smoothie in a bowl or in a glass, and is commonly topped or mixed with tapioca and/or granola and fruits, especially bananas and strawberries.
It's quite popular in Rio de Janeiro where it is sold in most kiosks lining the beach promenade as well as in corner juice bars throughout the city.
To make my version of the Açai in the Bowl you need:
1 individual (100 grams) package of frozen açai pulp
1 banana
a splash of soy milk
granola
Break up the frozen açai pulp in large pieces and place it in the bowl of a blender. Add half of the banana and the soy milk. Blend it until smooth. Pour into a bowl and top it with the remaining banana, sliced and granola. This makes enough for one bowl. The recipe is easily doubled or tripled.
Useful Notes:
* The same açai bowl can be made with different fruits like mangoes.
* You can make a drinking smoothie by adding more liquid to the recipe.
* Açai stains. It's colour is very strong so you will end up with a dark tongue and perhaps even lips (depends on how much you have I guess). Not recommended on a first date.
* This is NOT a sweet treat (unless you load it with sugar, of course).
