Prepare the ingredients: chop 1 bell pepper, 1 tomato, and 1 onion; mince 2 cloves of garlic.

In a pilão (mortar), mash together the minced garlic, 1 teaspoon of black pepper, and 1 teaspoon of colorau until it forms a paste.

In a large pot, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat.

Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent.

Add the mashed garlic mixture and sauté briefly until fragrant.

Add the chopped bell pepper and tomato; cook until the tomato releases some liquid.

In a separate bowl, mix 80 ml of cassava flour with 1.5 L of water and stir well.

Pour the cassava flour mixture into the pot and stir to combine; add 1 bay leaf and salt to taste.

Increase the heat to bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce to low heat.

Crack the eggs one by one into the pot, keeping them whole, and let them poach for about 3 minutes without stirring.

After 3 minutes, turn off the heat and add chopped cilantro and green onions to the pot.

Serve hot, optionally garnished with additional cilantro and green onions.
