Feijoada is a rich and savory stew characterized by its deep, earthy flavors and smoky undertones. The combination of black beans and various pork cuts creates a complex and satisfying taste.
The dominant flavor is the earthy richness of the black beans, complemented by the smoky and salty notes from the various cuts of pork, including smoked sausages, bacon, dried beef (carne seca), and often pork ribs, ears, and feet. Garlic, onions, and bay leaves add aromatic complexity. The orange slices served alongside provide a refreshing citrus counterpoint to the stew's richness. Collard greens add a slightly bitter and earthy element.

Soaking salt-cured meats like carne seca helps remove excess salt before cooking.
Cooking Time
