Today we're gonna make something I had the pleasure to eat some time ago and wanted to try making: feijoada, a Brazilian bean and meat stew.
You will need black beans, dried beef, bay leaf, pork chops (ideally smoked), bacon, sausage, onion, garlic, cumin, coriander, cayenne, parsley, olive oil, bread crumbs and orange zest.

Some of you will realize there are no beans or dry beef pictured, and that would be because I started ahead because cooking that stuff takes ages.
For you though, you will soak the beans overnight, then simmer them in water about 2 hours, chop your beef and add it to the beans, to simmer an additional 2 hours.
I'm about 3 hours into the cooking so I'm now starting on the rest now. Here's how the beans are looking.

Cut some bacon up and cook it until almost crisp. If some burns to the pan that's fine, just means more for deglazing later.

My favourite dish, often made by my grandmother. I will be watching closely OP.

I would if I bothered with it but I don't stand a chance and I like doing it for fun better anyway.

Aw yeah look at that. Cut pork chops and sausage into chunks and cook it with the bacon. Reserve aside when done, keeping fat in the pan.

Is the fond really supposed to be so dark? Seems like that would taste pretty burnt.
>>7276036
Nah I burnt it a little too much because I get too busy while posting. Its gonna taste just fine either way though.

Chop your onion, mince your garlic and cook that stuff in the drippings. When about done, add some cumin, coriander, cayenne and parsley.

Wouldn't it be easier to make the food, then post later in the evening? I always assumed that's what most people did.
>>7276076
Might be, but this way is more fun!
>>7276058
Boring picture. Mix everything together, cover with water, and simmer for about an hour. Now might be a good time to start some rice, I ain't making any because I'm not that hungry.
>dried beef
what?
>>7276167
Mix bread crumbs with zest and some parsley, this gon' be our topping later when stew's done.
Lurking.

Sorry for the delay! Here's the somewhat bare result. I do recommend having rice with it served on a plate and all.

It's a bit of an Americanized version, you can omit it if you don't like it, though do at least try the orange zest on there.
I can tell its quite americanized version.
Here in brazil we use pork's feet, beef jerky, three kinds of sausage, big chunks of bacon, pork ribs and etc
