Feijoada, a black bean stew, is one of the most famous Brazilian dishes. It often contains pork but this is the traditional recipe with a twist, and it certainly needs no animal products to be satisfying and delicious. Some recipes require you to soak dried beans and slow-cook them forever to get the flavour, but this one is quick and simple, and we’re sure you will love it! Serve it with rice for a filling dish you’ll find yourself cooking again and again.
