2 tablespoons butter
½ large peeled onion, thinly sliced
1 egg, lightly beaten

| How To Cook: |
|
|
1. In a heavy 8- to 10-inch skillet, heat the butter over moderate heat, tipping the pan to coat the bottom evenly.
|
2. Drop in the onion slices and cook them, stirring constantly, for 5 minutes, or until they are soft and transparent but not brown.
|
3. Reduce the heat to low and-still stirring constantly-pour in the egg. The egg will coagulate in seconds.
|
4. Slowly stir in the manioc meal and cook, stirring frequently, for 8 minutes, or until the meal becomes golden.
|
5. Watch carefully for any sign of burning. Stir in the salt and parsley. Serve hot or cooled to room temperature.
|
6. The "farofa" may be garnished in either case with olives and hard-cooked eggs.
