MY BRAZILIAN FEIJOADA



My Brazilian Feijoada image

A co-worker's mom used to make this dish for him and it was his favorite. So I made him my own version. Instead of sausage you can use ham hocks, or substitute lean white meat for the red meat if you prefer. -Christiane Counts, Webster, Texas

Time 13h15m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 pound dry black beans
2 quarts water, plus more as needed
3 ounces dried beef, chopped
1 bay leaf
2 smoked pork chops, cut into large chunks, bones reserved
4 ounces bacon, coarsely chopped
12 ounces linguica sausage, cut into large chunks
2 (4 ounce) links Italian sausage

½ teaspoon ground coriander
1 pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 tablespoon chopped Italian parsley
1 tablespoon olive oil
½ cup dry bread crumbs
2 tablespoons chopped Italian parsley
2 teaspoons grated orange zest

Steps:

  • Place black beans into a large bowl, cover with water, and soak overnight. Drain beans.
  • Place drained beans in heavy pot with 2 quarts of water. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer until beans are cooked but very firm, 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
  • Stir chopped dried beef into pot with beans. Add bay leaf and pork chop bones, stir and simmer on low heat for another 2 hours.

Increase heat to medium-high and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook uncovered until beans are very soft and liquid begins to thicken, about 1 hour, stirring occasionally. If beans begin to look dry, add more water.
  • Heat olive oil in a skillet. Add bread crumbs and cook and stir until crumbs are toasted. Stir in 2 tablespoons Italian parsley and grated orange zest.
  • When beans are cooked, ladle stew into bowls and top with the toasted crumb mixture.

FEIJOADA (BRAZILIAN BLACK BEAN AND MIXED MEAT STEW) WITH ORANGE



Feijoada (Brazilian Black Bean and Mixed Meat Stew) With Orange image

Traditionally eaten on Wednesday's and Saturday's throughout Brazil with white rice and oranges (amongst other things), this special and rich meaty slow cooked stew has a depth of flavour using simple ingredients that could bring 'ooohs' and 'aaaahh's' from across the Atlantic I'm sure. I save my version for special occasions when I want a really hearty shared meal and I love the way the beans melt into the sauce lending their luxurious almost creamy texture to the finished dish. Originally this was made by African slaves using fatty offal scraps and as tasty as it was (I've tried this version and it is pretty good!) many people nowadays, including myself, make it lighter and use better quality meats. The Orange and Coriander salad is not compulsory but comes very highly recommended. Absolutely Outstanding.

Categories     Stew

Time 2h20m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 20

500 g black turtle beans (soaked in plenty of water overnight)
500 g beef steaks, cut into large chunks (any type)
200 g cooked smoked pork sausage, sliced
200 g spicy pork sausages (raw, can use chorizo style)
2 -3 pork belly steaks, cut into cubes
8 slices bacon, chopped
6 large bay leaves
2 onions, roughly chopped
2 large garlic cloves
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 tablespoon hot pepper sauce (optional)
salt
pepper
6 -8 oranges
2 onions
30 g coriander, chopped (half a bunch)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 squeeze lemon
salt
pepper

Steps:

  • Drain the beans and place in a very large clean pan (or 2 large smaller pans) Fill with enough water to cover the beans by around 2 inches and bring to the boil. Do not add salt.
  • Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium and cook for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally if you remember to. Now add the cubed steak and the bay leaves and reduce the heat to low.
  • In a separate frying pan heat the oil over a high heat, fry the pork belly until browned all over and add to the pot. Fry the raw spicy sausages whole and once browned, slice and add to the pot. Fry the bacon and add to the pot. Lastly add the cooked smoked sausage slices (no need to fry these).
  • Cook over a medium heat for 15 minutes, if the mixture is looking a little dry, add more water but do not water log. Reduce the heat to low.
  • Now take out a cup full of the beans and water leaving the meat in the pan. Put in the blender with the onion and garlic, whizz until almost smooth (add a bit more tap water if necessary) and add to the pot. (If you don't have a blender, mash the beans and grate in the onion and garlic).
  • Add the hot pepper sauce if using, season to taste with salt and pepper and cook over a low heat for an hour or two checking every 15 minutes or so. Do not let the mixture dry out.
  • You should have a thick, meaty fragrant stew, if not continue cooking until the excess water has evaporated.
  • Serve with white rice and the orange and coriander salad below. Freeze any leftovers within 24hours.
  • For the salad, cut the onion into rings or half rings and soak in iced water for at least an hour.
  • Cut the oranges on a plate to catch the juice. Slice the top and bottom off each orange and run a knife down under the skin and pith so you end up with a perfectly peeled orange with no white pith. Cut into rounds, remove any pips and arrange on a plate or platter. Season with salt and plenty of pepper.
  • Drain the onions and pat dry, mix with the olive oil, lemon juice and coriander then season well. Sprinkle over the oranges and garnishing with a little extra coriander.
  • Enjoy your feast! In Brazil they say that feijoada will induce sleep, so don't eat it on a busy day!

BRAZILIAN FEIJOADA

Provided by Tyler Florence

Categories     main-dish

Time P1DT3h

Yield 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

2 pounds dried black turtle beans, picked through and rinsed
1 pound salt cured beef, such as carne seca or corned beef
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 pound salt pork, cut into 1-inch cubes
1 medium white onion, chopped
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 serrano pepper, halved
2 bay leaves
1 pound smoked ham hocks
1 pound linguica or Spanish chorizo sausage, cut into 2-inch pieces
1 pound pork ribs, separated into individual ribs
1 pound beef stew meat, top round or chuck, cut into 2-inch cubes
Hot sauce
2 oranges, peeled and cut in segments
Collard Greens, recipe follows
Cooked white rice, for serving
2 bunches collard or kale greens, about 2 pounds
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
4 garlic cloves
1 cup chicken broth
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Starting a day ahead, place the dried beans in a large bowl and cover with cold water; soak the beans overnight in the refrigerator. In a separate bowl, soak the salt cured beef in cool water to cover to tenderize the meat, do this overnight also but change the water a couple of times. Drain the beans and carne seca; cut up the cured beef into chunks.
  • Coat a large heavy pot with the oil and place over medium heat. When the oil is hot, add the salt pork, onions, garlic, pepper, and bay leaves. Cook and stir for 5 minutes to render out the pork fat and soften the vegetables. Add the ham hocks, sausage, ribs, cubed beef, carne seca, and black beans. Cover with just enough cold water to cover (about 21/2 quarts). Bring the liquid to a boil and then reduce to medium-low heat, cover, and simmer for 2 hours, stirring now and again. Skim any foam that rises to the surface during cooking and add more water if necessary to keep the ingredients covered during cooking.
  • Dig the ham hocks out of the pot, discard the rind and fat, shred the meat, and return the ham to the pot. The beans should be really tender, like they are almost bursting. Mash about 1 cup of the beans against the side of the pot to cream them out. Give the stew a good stir, taste and check for seasoning.
  • To serve, ladle some of the bean broth into shot glasses or little cups, add a dash of hot pepper sauce and drink ¿ this is traditionally done to get the palate prepared for the feijoada. Serve feijoada in large wide bowls, garnished with orange segments and accompanied by collard greens and white rice.
  • To prepare the greens: cut away the tough stalks and stems from the collards and discard any leaves that are bruised or yellow. Fill the sink with water and salt, the salt helps to remove any impurities. Wash the collards thoroughly to remove the grit, 2 or 3 times, until the water runs clear. Dry thoroughly. Stack up several leaves and roll up lengthwise in a bundle, cut them into 1-inch ribbons. Repeat until all the leaves are shredded.
  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil; blanch the collard greens for 3 minutes until tender but still bright green. Drain the greens well.
  • Heat a large deep skillet over medium flame and coat with the oil. Add the garlic and saute for 2 minutes to soften. Add the blanched greens and toss well with the oil and garlic. Pour in the chicken broth and cook for 5 minutes until the greens are wilted and tender; take care not to overcook. Season with salt and pepper and serve with the feijoada.

Yield Makes 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 1/2 cups dry black beans, rinsed and sorted
1 lb corned beef
2 lb smoked pork spareribs or smoked pork chops
3/4 lb slab bacon
1 1/2 lb boneless beef chuck or eye round
1 ham hock
1 pig's foot, split
10 to 12 cups low sodium or homemade chicken broth or water
1 bay leaf
2 tbsp peanut or olive oil
1 1/2 cups minced onion
1/4 lb chorizo, sliced 1/4 inch thick
2 tsp minced garlic
1/2 cup thinly sliced scallions, cut on the diagonal
1 jalapeño, seeded and minced
Salt as needed
Freshly ground black pepper as needed

Steps:

  • 1. Soak the black beans in enough cold water to cover generously for at least 6 and up to 12 hours in the refrigerator. In a separate container, soak the corned beef in the refrigerator overnight in enough cold water to cover.
  • 2. Drain the corned beef and place it in large Dutch oven along with the smoked spareribs or chops, bacon, beef, ham hock, and pig's foot. Add enough broth or water to cover the meats. Add the bay leaf, cover the Dutch oven, and bring the broth to a simmer over low heat, skimming as necessary. Simmer until the meats are all tender, removing them from the broth as they become fork-tender (20 to 30 minutes for the spareribs or chops; 45 minutes to 1 hour for the other meats), and transfer them to a bowl. When all of the meat has been removed from the Dutch oven, strain the broth. (You can cool the meats and broth now and continue the cooking the next day.)
  • 3. Drain the soaked beans and rinse well. Place them in the Dutch oven and add enough of the strained broth to cover the beans. Bring the broth to a boil over medium high heat and then immediately reduce the heat for a slow simmer, skimming as necessary, until the beans are tender and creamy to the bite, 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Season to taste with salt. Drain the beans, reserving their cooking liquid separately.
  • 4. Heat the oil the Dutch oven over medium heat until it shimmers. Sauté the onion in the oil, stirring frequently, until golden, about 10 minutes. Add the chorizo, garlic, scallions, and jalapeño; sauté, stirring frequently, until very hot and aromatic, about 5 minutes. Return the drained beans to the Dutch oven along with enough of the strained liquid from the beans to make a good, stew-like consistency. Simmer until the feijoada is very flavorful, 10 to 15 minutes. Lightly mash some of the beans with the back of a spoon to thicken the sauce, if desired. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • 5. Remove the meat from the ham hocks and cut it into medium dice. Remove the rind from the bacon and cut it into a medium dice. Add the diced ham and bacon to the beans and simmer 15 minutes. Slice the corned beef, beef, and separate the spareribs into portions. Add them to the beans and continue to simmer until the feijoada is very flavorful and thickened, about 15 minutes

Time 13h

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 20

2 lbs dried brazilian black beans, picked through and soaked overnight in water
2 large onions, minced
vegetable oil
1 head garlic, minced

Steps:

  • Place tongue in a large pot, pour in enough water to cover. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until tender, about 3 hours.
  • Pour 1 quart water and black beans into a large saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat, and boil for 2 minutes. Remove from heat, cover, and let stand 1 hour.
  • When tongue is done, drain and plunge into cold water. Make a lengthwise cut in the skin, peel off, and discard.

Continue cooking the beans until tender, about 1 hour more.
  • Once tender, remove 1/2 cup of beans, and mash with some of the cooking liquid to create a sauce. Stir in reserved vegetables.
