Yield: 4 · Time: 35 min · Difficulty: Medium

An accessible reinterpretation inspired by the philosophy of Alex Atala (D.O.M., São Paulo): elevating native and underestimated ingredients with technique and fermentation. We do not use restricted Amazonian species; we honor his approach with oyster mushrooms and a fermented, citrusy broth that evokes—without copying—tucupi. Authentic tucupi is fermented cassava broth; this is an inspired version, not a replica.

Ingredients

  • 350 g oyster mushrooms (Pleurotus ostreatus), sliced
  • 500 ml vegetable broth
  • 3 tablespoons sauerkraut juice or fermented cabbage water (live acidity)
  • Juice of 2 lemons
  • 1 yellow or serrano chili, deseeded, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1 tablespoon chopped cilantro (plus leaves for garnish)
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric (color and a nod to tucupi's hue)
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • Salt to taste

Instructions

  1. For the tucupi-style broth: Heat the vegetable broth with turmeric, whole garlic cloves, and chili for 10 minutes. Remove from heat and add the sauerkraut juice and lemon juice. This fermented acidity is the soul of the dish. Strain.
  2. In a hot pan, sauté the oyster mushrooms in oil over high heat for 4 to 5 minutes, until golden and their flavor is concentrated.
  3. Pour the tucupi-style broth over the mushrooms, add the chopped cilantro, and cook for 3 minutes. Adjust salt and acidity to taste.
  4. Serve in a deep bowl, with the mushrooms peeking out of the golden broth and fresh cilantro leaves on top.

Functional Note

Oyster mushrooms (Pleurotus ostreatus) contain pleuran, a beta-glucan that has been studied for its relation to immune function. The fermentation of the broth also contributes the vibrant character that this cuisine celebrates.
