Feijoada
Saturday's long-simmered black bean and pork stew, served with rice, farofa, collard greens and orange slices.
Origin & history
Feijoada is Brazil's national dish, with roots in the stew of beans and pork parts eaten across Portugal and its colonies. The popular story that it was created by enslaved people from plantation leftovers is contested by historians, who note Portuguese cozido traditions and Brazilian adaptation over three centuries. In Rio, it is a Saturday lunch ritual, eaten slowly over hours.
