Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Beans

    Soak the black beans overnight in water. Drain and rinse before cooking.

  2. 2

    Cook the Sausage

    In a large pot over medium heat, add olive oil and sauté chopped onion and minced garlic until fragrant and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

  3. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    Add the drained black beans, sliced smoked sausage, bay leaves, salt, and black pepper to the pot. Pour in enough water to cover the beans by about an inch.

  4. 4

    Simmer the Stew

    Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for 1 to 1.5 hours, or until the beans are tender. Stir occasionally and add water if necessary to keep beans submerged.

  5. 5

    Cook the Rice

    While the beans are cooking, prepare the white rice according to package instructions.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the feijoada over a bed of white rice. Garnish with fresh orange slices, and offer Malagueta hot sauce and farofa on the side for additional flavor.
