Feijoada

This feijoada recipe is a relatively simple one, and I think it has a good balance of smokiness and meatiness. Cooked low and slow, everything in this feijoada––the meat, beans, onions, and garlic––will all meld together perfectly.

Ingredients

Servings
  • ½ pound Bacon 225g, chopped, smoked
  • 4 pounds pork shoulder 1.8 kg, cut into 2-inch chunks, bone-in
  • 2 onion chopped
  • 10 cloves garlic (chopped)
  • 1 pound black beans 450g, soaked in water overnight, dried
  • 2 smoked ham hock
  • 5 bay leaf
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
  • rice to serve, cooked rice, orange slices
  • orange to serve, cooked rice, orange slices

Instructions

  1. In a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat, add the bacon and cook until the fat has rendered out a bit. Add the pork shoulder and cook until browned. Then stir in the onions and garlic and cook for another 3-5 minutes.
  2. Rinse and drain your beans, and add to the pot, along with the ham hocks and bay leaves. Cover with water and simmer (without a lid) for about 1 ½ to 2 hours, until the stew has thickened and the meat is falling part. Skim any foam off the top of the stew if needed.
  3. Season with black pepper (and salt, if needed) and serve over rice, with orange slices.

Notes

  • Note: Nutrition information for stew only, without rice or oranges.
