Brazilian Media Promote Lentil Recipes for New Year’s, Highlighting Érick Jacquin’s Rice With Caramelized Onion

Outlets present the dishes as symbols of prosperity for 2026 with practical step-by-step guidance.

Overview

  • Terra resurfaced a rice with lentils and caramelized onion recipe that Érick Jacquin taught on his YouTube channel, positioning it for New Year’s meals.
  • The piece recommends the dish to “attract prosperity” in line with Brazil’s superstition that eating lentils at the turn of the year brings money and luck.
  • A separate Terra roundup offers multiple lentil variations, including refogada with vegetables, rice with sausage, meat with bacon, bacalhau with lentils, and a Spanish-style version.
  • The recipes provide ingredient lists, timings, yields, difficulty levels, and step-by-step instructions, with several credited to Guia da Cozinha.
  • The coverage, published on December 31, repackages older chef content into a seasonal guide for New Year’s cooking.
