- 1/2 pound pork shoulder, diced
- 1/2 pound carne seca (dried beef), diced
- 1/2 pound smoked sausage, sliced
- 1/2 pound bacon, chopped
- 1 onion, chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 bay leaves
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Rinse the black beans and soak them in a large bowl of water overnight.
- In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté until fragrant.
- Add the diced pork shoulder, carne seca, smoked sausage, and chopped bacon to the pot. Cook until the meats are browned.
- Add the soaked black beans to the pot, along with enough water to cover the ingredients by about 2 inches. Add the bay leaves and season with salt and pepper.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 2-3 hours, or until the beans are tender and the meats are cooked through. Stir occasionally and add more water if needed to keep the beans covered.
- Once the feijoada is ready, remove the bay leaves and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
- Serve the feijoada hot with steamed rice, collard greens, and orange slices on the side. Enjoy!
Feijoada is a traditional Brazilian stew, often considered the country's national dish. Its origins date back to the time of Portuguese colonization, when slaves would make the most of leftover pork parts. This hearty dish typically includes black beans, pork or beef, and a variety of smoked meats, such as bacon, sausage, and ribs. The feijoada is slowly cooked to perfection, allowing the flavors to meld together. In Brazil, it's commonly served with rice, collard greens, and orange slices. Some renowned restaurants in Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo are known for their exceptional feijoada, offering a rich and flavorful experience for locals and tourists alike.
