I have a fond memory of Brazil: sitting in the Comeia (the pavillion) on the farm around noon, with a drink in hand, and fresh farmer's cheese cubes on a plate for snacking. Ok, so that's not my memory because I was just a kid and spent my time running around, getting dirty, and then jumping in the clean pool water! We probably got away with all that because the adults were, as I said earlier, sitting in the shade with a caipirinha or beer in hand and snacking on cashews and fresh farmer's cheese. I haven't been able to find the same kind of cheese here (probably because we actually made the cheese on the farm from unpasteurized milk), but fresh mozzarella is a great substitute. I always see mozzarella paired with tomatoes and fresh basil, but this is a quicker way to prepare this appetizer- believe it or not! Enjoy!
