Menu: A Feijoada Party
In Brazil, friends and family come together on Saturdays to share large plates of feijoada: a rich and smoky bean and pork stew accompanied by rice and collards and topped with toasted manioc flour. Bring a taste of the tropics into your own home with this menu, best enjoyed with a caipirinha in hand.
The Menu
- Bean and Pork Stew
- Garlic Rice
- Collards
- Vinaigrette
- Farofa
- Oranges
- Brigadeiros (Brazilian Fudge Balls)
- Caipirinha
Planning Tips
Though it's best to prepare the rice, collards, vinaigrette, and farofa shortly before serving, the stew can be made the day before and refrigerated until ready to serve. The brigadeiros can also be made up to two days before serving.
If you can't find it in your local grocery store, Portuguese–style linquiça sausage or Spanish–style dry chorizo for the stew can be ordered online at Mello's Finest. Cassava flour for the farofa can be found at Barry Farm.
