Directions
Enjoy the grilled mushroom skewers straight off the grill with crispy, fragrant farofa fries for a fast-food experience bursting with Brazilian street food flair. You can use fresh cassava if preferred—just peel, boil, and cut into fries. For a zero-waste tip, save mushroom stems and vegetable scraps for homemade broth.
