Pato no tucupi

Brazil · Latin America

Short description: Pato no tucupi is duck cooked in tucupi, the yellow broth made from fermented manioc juice.
Ingredients: Duck pieces are cooked with yellow tucupi broth, jambu leaves, garlic, herbs, salt, and pepper, often served with rice or manioc flour.
Cultural note: The broth is carefully prepared before the duck is added; jambu is added near serving for its leafy flavor and slight tingle.
Common misconception: The yellow broth is not ordinary stock; it comes from processed manioc juice that must be safely prepared before cooking.
