Treat your ingredients with care...
- Beef — For a more tender result, choose a cut of beef suitable for slow cooking, such as chuck or stewing beef.
- Chorizo sausage — Look for a spicy and flavorful chorizo sausage to add depth to the dish.
- Morcilla (blood sausage) — If you can't find morcilla, you can substitute it with another type of sausage or omit it altogether.
- Red kidney beans — If using canned beans, rinse them thoroughly before adding to the dish to remove excess sodium.
Tips & Tricks
- To enhance the flavors, let the Feijoada sit for a few hours or overnight before serving.
- Serve the Feijoada with traditional Argentinian accompaniments such as rice, crusty bread, and a fresh green salad.
- Feel free to adjust the spiciness of the dish by adding more or less paprika and chili flakes.
- Leftover Feijoada tastes even better the next day as the flavors continue to develop.
- Don't forget to serve chimichurri sauce on the side for an extra burst of flavor.
