Sometimes called the national dish of Brazil, feijoada is one of my favorites, and often prepare it for our New Year's party. The recipes were given to me by a friend living in Rio
Meats included corned beef, beef roast, baby back ribs, linguiça, andouille, salt pork, and smoked pork hocks. If you've never tried it, I'd definitely recommend the dish - the broth is unlike anything I have ever eaten because of the mixture of meats and black beans. So rich, all I could eat was a single bowl
A tradition of my friend is to serve a shot glass full of the broth laced with as much heat as you like - it is said to prepare the palate for the feijoada
Plated on a bed of white rice and garnished with greens and orange slices
Preparing Dulce de leche - a can of condensed milk in a pot simmering while the feijoada cooked
Dulce de leche with cheese - this is what the condensed milk looks like when done - tasted like caramel - silky smooth. Strange as it sounds, a mild white cheese was topped with the dulce de leche. Tasted marvelous
