Pato no tucupi

Pato no tucupi is a specialty dish from Belem, consisting of duck stewed with tomatoes and onions. The duck is then roasted and stewed with tucupi (yellow juice extracted from cassava) and jambú (a leafy plant with anesthetic properties). The dish is typically served with rice on the side. It is traditionally prepared and consumed once a year, during the Círio de Nazaré festivities.
