Brazilian Feijoada

Serves 8
Time 2 hr 35 min
This somewhat less involved version of the traditional Brazilian dish calls for pork sausage, ribs and black beans, along with vegetables and classic Latin seasonings, giving this delectable stew a deep, savory flavor. Garnish individual servings with thinly sliced raw onion rings and serve with a light side salad such as sliced hearts of palm drizzled with olive oil and lemon.

Method

Place a large (6 quart) Dutch oven pot over medium to high heat and add pork sausage pieces, browning on all sides, about 5 minutes. (If pot is not large enough, cook in two batches instead of overcrowding).

Season baby back ribs with salt and pepper.

Remove pork sausage and reserve.

Discard drippings and add pork ribs, browning for a few minutes on each side until well colored.

Remove ribs and reserve. Add chorizo pieces, reduce to a medium heat and cook until brown on all sides, a few minutes, turning once.

Remove chorizo and reserve.

Discard about half leftover oil in the pan.

Add olive oil and chopped onion and sauté for about 4 minutes.

Add poblano pepper, cooking for another 4 minutes.

Add garlic slices and bay leaves, cook for another 2 minutes.

Meanwhile place one can of black beans including juice in a blender along with 1 cup of chicken broth and blend until smooth.

Place blended beans into onion mixture and add remaining chicken broth.

Add ham hock and ribs and add extra water to cover meat if needed.

Bring to a boil, cover and cook at a simmer for about 1 1/2 hours.

Add sausage and chorizo and cook for another 15 minutes.

Add remaining (strained and rinsed) 2 cans of black beans and cook for 10 minutes.

Finally add chopped kale, cook for another 10 minutes.
