Feijoada is a complex and savory dish, boasting rich, smoky, and hearty flavors.
The black beans provide an earthy base, while the various cuts of pork (such as salted pork, smoked ribs, bacon, and sausage) contribute saltiness, smokiness, and depth. Beef adds further richness. Garlic, bay leaf, and sometimes orange peel infuse aromatic notes. The dish is balanced by the freshness of collard greens, the slight sweetness of orange slices, and the textural contrast of farofa and crackling.

Soaking the Beans
Soak the black beans overnight (or for at least 8 hours) to reduce cooking time and improve digestibility.
Desalting the Pork
Desalt the salted pork by soaking it in water for 24-48 hours, changing the water several times. This removes excess saltiness.
Cooking Time
Feijoada requires slow cooking to allow the flavors to meld and the meat to become tender. Be patient and allow ample time for simmering.
Serving Suggestions
Serve feijoada with rice, collard greens (couve), farofa (toasted cassava flour), orange slices, and crackling (torresmo) for a complete and authentic experience.
