Pirarucu Preparation
Be careful not to overcook the Pirarucu, as it can become dry. Poaching or gently pan-frying before shredding helps to retain its moisture and delicate flavor.
Plantain Ripeness
Use ripe, but not overly ripe, plantains for the puree. Riper plantains will be sweeter and easier to mash.
Cheese Addition
While optional, adding a layer of cheese such as queijo coalho or mozzarella on top before baking enhances the flavor and creates a golden, bubbly crust.
Baking Consistency
Do not overbake the escondidinho de pirarucu. Check to ensure that is heated through and that the cheese, if used, is melted.
