Feijoada
 
 
Ingredients
  • 1.4kg black beans
  • 2 onions
  • 4 garlic cloves
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 4 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp salt
  • 1 hot chili pepper
  • 1.5kg boneless pork loin
  • 1.5kg pork backribs
  • 1.5kg pork sausage
  • 0.5kg smoked pork sausage
  • 0.25kg pork rind
  • 1 pork tail (optional)
  • 2 pork tongue (optional)
  • 250g ham cut into cubes
Instructions
  1. Soak beans a couple of hours before draining and cooking
  2. Cook the beans in boiling water over a medium heat. Add in pork rind, tail, tongue, and ham.
  3. In another pan, sauté the onion, garlic, and bay leaves in oil and set aside.
  4. Cut the meat (except for the sausage) into cubes and cook on medium heat. Cook the meats separately to ensure all are cooked properly (the juices should run clear and the meat should be piping hot throughout).
  5. Add the sautéed onion mix, raw sausage, cooked meat, and chili to the boiled black beans. Reduce heat and simmer for about an hour, until the mixture becomes thick. Add salt to taste.
  6. Serve hot alongside white rice or braised cabbage.
