Encyclopedia > Broa

Broa is a type of cornbread traditionally made in Portugal. As such, it represents a relatively unusual instance of maize being used in European cuisine. Unlike the cornbread typical of the southern United States, broa is made from a mixture of cornmeal and rye flour, and is leavened with yeast rather than baking powder or baking soda. This yeast bread has the wholesome rustic flavor and texture that suitably accompanies soups, especially Caldo Verde, the Portuguese green soup made with tender kale, potatoes, and chorizo sausages.

Controls of Negotiated Settlements, Audit No. 218, 9/20/95 (991 words)
We are recommending several enhancements, including: creation of a separate unit in the Division of Enforcement to monitor compliance with settlement terms; earlier consideration of settlement issues by the Commission; consultation with the Branch of Regional Office Assistance (BROA) for all settlements; and establishing a data base of prior settlements.
Settlement offers are reviewed based on the facts and circumstances of the case, including the severity of the alleged conduct, the sanctions imposed in similar, prior cases, policy considerations, litigation risk, and the likelihood of future violations.
BROA does not routinely obtain copies of settlements negotiated by the Division of Enforcement, although senior Division staff informally discuss some settlements with BROA.
