This is a dish called "Mineiro Valente". It was a winner at a traditional food competition of Belo Horizonte (Minas Gerais, Brazil) named "Comida di Buteco", in reference to the small and familiar bars, that makes the capital of Minas Gerais state famous all over Brazil as the "Capital of Bars".
Mineiro Valente is served really hot, inside a small iron pan, and it has strong mixed flavors, that combines themselves into a delicious soup: canjiquinha (a kind of a cooked crunched corn) with small pieces of smoked-cured swine meat, Minas' cheese, spinach purée, pimenta-biquinho (a Minas Gerais typical non-hot pepper) and pricked chives.
It was shot by me at the Belo Horizonte's Central Market, in a restaurant called "Casa Cheia" ("Full House") in August 2006.
