Feijoada, Brazilian Black Bean Stew Recipe

Ingredients

1 medium onion, peeled and sliced
2 tbsp oil
2 cloves garlic, peeled and crushed
1 tbsp smoked paprika
2 tsp ground cumin
1 large carrot, diced
200g sweet potato, peeled and diced
125g potato, peeled and diced
200ml vegetable stock
1 bay leaf
400g can black beans
Salt and pepper to taste
1 orange, zest

Method

Fry the onion in the oil for 3-4 minutes, add the garlic and spices, and then the vegetables, turning them to coat them.

Add the stock and the bay leaf, then the beans. Bring to the boil.

Simmer for 10-12 minutes or until the sweet potato is tender, adding a little more water if it starts to dry out.

Remove from the heat, stir in the orange zest and remove the bay leaf before serving. It’s even better the next day!
