Brazil\u2019s iconic comfort dish\u2014slow-simmered black beans with rich, savory pork flavors.<\/p>\n
2 cups dried black beans, soaked overnight<\/p>\n
500g (1 lb) pork shoulder or pork belly, cut into chunks<\/p>\n
200g (7 oz) smoked sausage (lingui\u00e7a or chorizo), sliced<\/p>\n
1 small onion, chopped<\/p>\n
3 cloves garlic, minced<\/p>\n
2 bay leaves<\/p>\n
1 tsp ground black pepper<\/p>\n
Salt, to taste<\/p>\n
1 tbsp vegetable oil<\/p>\n
Water or broth, as needed<\/p>\n
Prepare the beans:
\nDrain and rinse the soaked black beans. Place them in a large pot, cover with fresh water, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer while preparing the meats.<\/p>\n
Brown the meats:
\nHeat vegetable oil in a separate skillet over medium heat. Brown the pork pieces and sausage slices until nicely colored. Transfer them to the pot with the beans.<\/p>\n
Saut\u00e9 aromatics:
\nIn the same skillet, saut\u00e9 onion and garlic until soft and fragrant, about 3 minutes. Add to the bean pot along with bay leaves and black pepper.<\/p>\n
Simmer the stew:
\nAdd enough water or broth to fully cover the beans and meats. Simmer uncovered for 1\u00bd\u20132 hours, stirring occasionally, until the beans are tender and the stew is thick and rich. Skim off excess fat if needed.<\/p>\n
Season and rest:
\nSeason with salt to taste. Remove bay leaves and let the feijoada rest for 10 minutes before serving to allow flavors to deepen.<\/p>\n
Serve:
\nServe hot with white rice, saut\u00e9ed collard greens, orange slices, and farofa if available.<\/p>\n
