Feijoada

1 lb of varied pork sausages (prefer smoked sausages - like Kielbasa)
1 lb of pork tenderloin
3-4 slices of bacon chopped up
1 can of black beans (15.5Oz) drained & rinsed
1/4 c water
2 tbs vegetable oil
3 cloves chopped garlic,
1 small chopped onion
6 bay leaves (bay leaves give a special taste to feijoada)

Mix black beans with 2 tbs oil, water, garlic, onions and bay leaves to a medium-sized pot.

Cook on med heat until onions have disintegrated or are extremely transparent.

In a separated pan, cook cubes of pork tenderloin, sausage, and slices of bacon.

Add the cooked meat to the pan with the black beans and your feijoada is ready!

Cook your feijoada more 10 minutes to meat soak in the black beans. You can add some pepper sauce to your feijoada at this point.

serve over rice


Hints:

#1. to make the feijoada creamy, liquefy 1/2 cup of black beans in the blender and add to the feijoada.

#2. Add lime juice to the finished product

#3. Add a slice of orange to the finished product (I wouldn't combine the lime & orange - just either or)
