There are more Feijoada Recipes in Brazil than Brazilians living in the US! Only on the Web, you can find hundreds of them!
So, here are my 2 cents...
Feijoada is more than a Brazilian dish. Though in South States it belongs to the winter dish, in Rio de Janeiro (where I live) it is served the whole year. The most important thing to remember when you prepare/serve/eat it is not the ‘right’ ingredients. Keep in mind that you are celebrating something. Or better... anything.
The good talking, the Brazilian sounds, the loud chatting, the contagious gladness – they are all part of this delicious ‘ceremony’.
After the ingredients list (you can vary them almost ‘freely’ according to your circumstances and personal taste) you will find ‘how to’ directions step-by-step.
If you prefer to watch instead of reading, don’t bother yourself. Just watch this video from my friend Nando Cuca. He’s a real HIT on Brazilian behavior and friendship;)
Whatever your preference is, keep in mind: Feijoada is not just about eating - it’s about celebrating!

4. Turn on the fire, and let the beans boiling for about an hour(the spice will be added later).
