Brazil’s national dish, feijoada is made by slowly cooking black beans with a variety of meats. Served with rice, orange slices, and greens, this hearty stew is a weekend classic.

Step by Step

How to make it?

Sauté the onion and garlic in olive oil over medium heat. Add the beef ribs and beef pastrami and cook for 10 minutes more.

3

Combine and simmer

50 min

Add the browned meats to the beans. Add the bay leaf and salt, cover, and simmer over low heat for 50 minutes.

4

Add the sausage

5

Serve

Reminder

Store in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days; the flavor deepens noticeably by the next day. Freeze for up to 3 months.
