Brazil Flavors is a new ingredient-swap series sponsored by S.Pellegrino, in which chefs from some of Brazil's finest restaurants challenge their peers to cook up a menu using the ingredients they send them. The first dinner featured ingredients chosen by Jefferson and Janaína Rueda of A Casa do Porco (São Paulo - Brazil), #6 on Latin America’s 50 Best list, and sent to chef Felipe Schaedler.

Okra
Cut the okras in half, put in a bowl. Add salt, pepper, and lemon juice (the juice removes the drool from the okra). Stir well and put on the coals to toast, or in a Josper oven.
