Canjiquinha, also known as “quirera” or “xerém” in different regions of Brazil, is a traditional dish made from ground corn kernels (similar to coarse cornmeal) that are cooked until soft and creamy. This hearty dish is typically combined with flavorful ingredients such as pork, sausage, or chicken, and is especially popular in the states of Minas Gerais and São Paulo.
