Pão de alhoGarlic bread

At a Brazilian churrasco, from the gaúcho south to weekend grills on São Paulo rooftops, garlic bread goes on the coals first so everyone has something to eat while the meat cooks. Small soft rolls are split and slathered with a paste of butter, mayonnaise, crushed garlic and cheese, then turned over gentle heat until the crust is spotted gold and the filling melts into the crumb. Parmesan and many mozzarellas use animal rennet, so pick cheeses made with vegetarian rennet if needed. Chef's tip: grill them at the cooler edge of the fire, not over the fiercest coals.

Dominican chimi burgerBurger with cabbage and mayo-ketchup

After dark in Santo Domingo, chimichurri carts (the "chimi" trucks) fire up griddles on street corners and sell these big, messy burgers into the small hours. A garlicky, oregano-seasoned beef patty, sometimes mixed with pork, is griddled and piled into a soft roll with lots of shredded cabbage, onion, tomato and the pink mayo-ketchup sauce. The common mistake is pressing the patty while it cooks, squeezing out the juices; flip it once and leave it. Cook the mince to 71 °C in the centre. Chef's tip: dress the shredded cabbage with a little of the sauce and lime first, so it softens slightly and stays in the bun.

Goan ros omelette

After dark in Panjim, Mapusa and Margao, roadside carts fry omelettes to order and ladle over them a thin, spicy chicken gravy called ros, meaning juice. It is late-night food, eaten standing up, mopped with soft Goan pao. The ros is a loose chicken xacuti, rich with roasted coconut, poppy seeds and star anise. Chef's tip: keep the gravy soupy; it should flood the omelette and soak into the bread, not sit on top like a stew.
