Churrasco de Miúdos
South America — Brazil
Brazil's mixed offal grill tradition. The miúdos equivalent of Argentine achuras — organs grilled over charcoal at churrascarias and family barbecues, especially in southern Brazil.
Cuts in this tradition
Cultural context
Less formalized than Argentine or Uruguayan achura culture but structurally parallel. Strongest in Rio Grande do Sul near the Uruguayan and Argentine borders. The term miúdos covers organs, entrails, and secondary cuts broadly.
Preparation
Organs cleaned and grilled over charcoal with salt and occasionally chimichurri. Intestines cleaned and grilled until crisp. Sweetbreads grilled until golden. Kidneys split and grilled simply.
