Feijoada

Feijoada is a stew of mostly black, rarely red or brown beans. Feijoada is common in Portugal and many former Portuguese colonies such as Angola, Brazil, Mozambique and Macao. In Brazil and Angola, it is regarded as national dish. In the feijoada completa these are cooked with dried meat, Räucherwürstchen, tongue, pig's ears and feet, cloves, bay leaves, whole black peppercorns, garlic and onions, is rice, farofa (toasted and being canned manioc flour ), steamed Couve mineira (or outside Brazil kale, cabbage or chard ) and orange slices and a Molho da pimenta, a savory to hot pepper sauce, served. In Angola, palm oil is used as a flavor enhancer in the court.

For the poor, however, only the rice, beans, and where available, carne seca or carne de sol, heavily salted and dried beef come to the table.
