Brazilian Feijoada is a black bean and pork stew that is often served with farofa, toasted cassava flour.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound dry black beans (soaked overnight)*
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 4 ounces slab bacon (rind removed), diced
  • 1 pound pork ribs, cut into individual ribs
  • 2 Mexican chorizo sausages, sliced
  • 1 smoked sausage, such as linguica or kielbasa, sliced
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 tomatoes, diced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 3 bay leaves
  • water
  • white rice (for serving)
  • farofa (for serving)

Preparation

  • In a large bowl with water, soak beans overnight.
    When you are ready to make your stew, in a large heavy-bottom soup pot, over medium heat, add the oil and bacon. Cook until crisp and transfer to a plate.
    Use the same saucepan to brown ribs and sausages in batches. Set aside.
    If needed, add more oil to the pan. On medium-high, sauté onion and garlic until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add tomatoes and cook for another 3 minutes.
    Drain and rinse the soaked beans. Add them to the pot along with the ribs, bacon, sausages, salt, pepper, bay leave. Cover with water (about 8 cups).
    Bring the mixture to a boil and reduce the heat to low. Cover and let it cook for 2 to 2 and a half hours, or until the beans are soft and the stew has thickened.

    Serve with white rice and sprinkle some farofa on top.
    Notes
    * 1 pound dry beans = 2 cups dry beans = 6 cups cooked beans (Feel free to substitute drained, canned beans if desired.)
