Brazilian-feijoada-stew

#5 - Feijoada Feijoada is as close as Brazil gets to a national dish. It's a flavorful stew packed with black beans, pork, beef and sausage. Slow cooking enables the aroma and taste to develop, cooking the liquid down to a luscious, meaty broth. In the northeast, it’s customary to top up the pot with vegetables such as potatoes, okra and pumpkin. All over, you’ll see it served with rice and often oranges to cut through the richness. Wherever you find it, don't rush this dish. Pull up a chair and savor this soul food in a leisurely fashion.
