Brazilian Feijoada - Black Bean Stew with Beef and Pork

There are likely many versions of Brazilian Feijoada, with each family claiming that their tradition is the right one. After all, it is a national dish with roots in the country's past, including making the most of whatever ingredients are on hand.

Feijoada actually has roots in Brazil's slaveholding past (Milk Street Magazine, March, 2022) and it was made with whatever bits of meat, pork ears, tails, feet, and tongue that were leftover from the slaveholders meals. The meat was cooked low and slow with black beans.
