Ingredients
- 6 slices smoked bacon chopped
- 1 pound kielbasa sliced and halved into bite-sized pieces
- 1 medium yellow onion diced
- 6 cloves garlic minced
- 1/4 cup white vinegar
- 3 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
- 15 ounces low sodium diced tomatoes
- 30 ounces low sodium black beans
- 2 tablespoons Piquant Post Tempero Baiano spice blend
Directions
- Add bacon to a dutch oven or stockpot and cook over medium heat until fat has rendered out (7-10 mins). Keep bacon fat in the pot (do not drain). Add kielbasa and cook until browned (~5-7 mins). Add onions and garlic and let cook until softened, stirring occasionally (~5-7 mins).
- Pour vinegar in the bottom of the pot and scrape the brown bits off of the bottom to deglaze. Add vegetable broth and diced tomatoes and stir to combine.
- Rinse and drain black beans. Add beans, Piquant Post Tempero Baiano spice blend and briefly stir to combine.
- Simmer on Low with lid on for 30 mins. Then remove lid, and simmer on Low for 1 hour. Cook until stew has thickened. Serve over white rice and garnish with chopped fresh cilantro.
Recipe Tips
- Feijoada is best made in a large dutch oven or soup pot. But you can also make this in a slow cooker or instant pot.
- Feijoada recipes come in a variety of forms. But typical recipes include stewed meats (pork or beef) and beans. You can adjust it to your taste and use chicken, sausage, or make it vegan.
- Optional ingredients add a little character and flavor but don’t sweat it if you don’t have them.
