Feijoada de Domingo (Sunday Bean Stew) image

A very traditional Brazilian stew made with black beans, sausage, and all the tasty bits of pork. For a traditional Brazilian spread, serve hot with white rice and collard greens. You can look for the greens in Caribbean markets, but if unavailable try kale instead.

This is my favorite feijoada recipe! It's so easy to make and always turns out perfectly. I love the smoky flavor from the bacon and the sweetness from the tomatoes. I always serve it with rice and farofa.

I love how this feijoada freezes well. I always make a big batch and then freeze it in individual portions. That way, I can have a delicious meal ready in minutes whenever I want.

I'm not sure what went wrong with my feijoada. It was bland and the beans were hard. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what happened.

This feijoada is a great way to use up leftover meat. I always have some leftover chicken or beef in my freezer, and feijoada is the perfect way to use it up. It's also a great way to get your kids to eat beans.

I love the versatility of this recipe. You can add or remove ingredients to suit your own taste. I like to add some chopped kale or spinach to my feijoada for an extra boost of nutrients.

This feijoada was too spicy for my taste. I had to tone it down by adding some cream and sugar. Even then, it was still a bit too spicy for me.

This feijoada was just okay. I found the flavors to be a bit bland, and the beans were a little undercooked. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

I wasn't sure what to expect with this dish, but I'm so glad I tried it! The flavors were out of this world. I especially loved the smokiness from the paio sausage. I served it with rice and collard greens, and it was a perfect meal.
