• Stir gently and finish cooking for 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

2. As a Meat Marinade

• Combine pequi sauce with salt and your choice of spices (cumin, garlic, or black pepper work well).
• Marinate chicken, pork, or beef for 4-8 hours in the refrigerator.
• Grill or roast as usual for deeply flavored meat.

3. For Stews and Casseroles

• Add 2-3 tablespoons of pequi sauce during the last 15-20 minutes of cooking.
• Stir well to distribute the flavor evenly throughout the dish.
• Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.

4. As a Table Condiment

• Let diners add to taste—a little goes a long way.

Serving Suggestions

Pair pequi sauce with white rice for the classic arroz com pequi experience—it's how families across Central Brazil have enjoyed this combination for generations. The sauce shines alongside grilled chicken, making it essential for Brazilian churrasco (barbecue) nights. For an authentic Central Brazilian meal, serve it with farofa (toasted cassava flour) and beans, rounding out the plate with traditional flavors. It also works beautifully as a finishing drizzle over stews and casseroles, adding a distinctive layer of depth that only pequi can provide.
