FARMINGTON, Conn — Today in the FOX61 Kitchen, Chef David Castro with Texas de Brazil in Farmington shows us how to make a delicious Brazilian vinaigrette and chimichurri!
In Brazil, vinaigrette is not a salad dressing but more of a salsa-like condiment that is served in churrascarias! This vinaigrette is great with any churrasco-style meat, especially flank steak!
Texas de Brazil has multiple locations nationwide, including Farmington at Westfarms Mall! Learn more about the restaurant and its menu here.
