Feijoada is the national dish of Brazil and for good reason, what is not to love, slow cooked pork and beans. It is said the Africans brought the bean stew, the Portuguese the pork and the indigenous Indians the farofa, the fried manioc flour you sprinkle on top; a beautiful fusion dish that Brazil is famous for. It takes the better part of a day to cook, not including soaking the beans overnight so plan accordingly.
