Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Once the butter has melted, add the minced garlic and chopped onion. Sauté until the garlic is fragrant and the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

-
Season the farofa with salt and pepper to taste, adjusting the seasoning as needed. The farofa should have a nutty aroma and a slightly crunchy texture.
-
Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the farofa to a serving bowl. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley for a pop of color and added freshness.
-
Serve the Farofa de Alho alongside your favorite Brazilian dishes, such as feijoada, grilled meats, or as a standalone side dish.
