Feijoada is one of the most emblematic dishes of Brazilian cuisine.
Originating from the colonial period, this delicious combination of black beans and smoked meats conquered the palate of Brazilians and became a symbol of our gastronomy.
In this article, we will share a traditional and tasty recipe for you to prepare your own feijoada at home.
Preparing the Recipe
In a large pot, place the black beans and cover with water. Leave to soak for at least 8 hours.
Drain the water from the beans and set aside.
In another large pan, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until soft.
Add the chopped garlic and sauté for a few more minutes.
Add smoked meats (such as Calabrian sausage, sausage, bacon) and fresh meats (such as pork ribs, loin) to the pan. Sauté until lightly browned.
Add the drained beans to the pan with the meat. Cover with enough water to cover everything.
Season with salt, black pepper, bay leaf powder and other seasonings of your choice. Shake well.
Let it cook on low heat for about 3 to 4 hours, stirring occasionally and adding more water if necessary.
Remove the meat from the pan and cut into smaller pieces. Return the meat to the pan.
Serve the feijoada hot, accompanied by white rice, sautĂ©ed cabbage, sliced ââorange and farofa.
