Half hour before cooking time ends, stir in the other half of cooked garlic/onion/mushrroms, salt, pepper, canned tomatoes and tomato paste. Let cook until beans are tender. 4) Remove bay leaves, adjust salt if needed, and stir in vinegar. Transfer about ½ cup of beans with their broth to a blender and blend until smooth. Mix with the vegetarian feijoada. Sprinkle chopped cilantro on top and serve.
