In Brazil, there is one dish to rule them all. You will find one dish cooked with passion and eaten with great pleasure, all across Brazil from the North to the South. That dish is Feijoada, the national dish of Brazil.
Feijoada is so popular with Brazilians that even the vegans and vegetarians will confess that it is the ONLY meat dish they truly miss. That is because Feijoada is more than just a meal; it is an experience you share with your friends, family, and community. Someone has even described it as Brazilian soul food. The meal itself is eaten over the day. However, around the pot goes the laughing, chatting, singing, dancing, cheering and bonding. This particular recipe has been cooked by me countless times, for groups of a dozen or more Brazilian friends who all miss the little things from back home. You will see one of these parties at the end of the video, and then you will understand what I mean by "an experience you share". So, stay tuned to the end.

The Recipe
-------------------
Everyone's Feijoada recipes are slightly different, but fundamentally they are all the same. So don't be surprised if your Brazilian friend, partner or mother-in-law recommends less garlic, more salt, add an orange, or use pork feet, etc. Over time, you will develop your own unique way of cooking it. I say this so you don't feel that you must follow this recipe rigidly - it is soul food, remember.

500g Dry black beans
