Feijoada [0000118]

Ingredients:

1 lb black beans, soaked overnight and drained
1 lb pork shoulder, cut into chunks
1/2 lb smoked sausage, sliced
1/2 lb chorizo sausage, sliced
1/2 lb bacon, chopped
1 onion, finely chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 bay leaves
Salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

In a large pot, combine soaked black beans with enough water to cover them. Bring to a boil and simmer until beans are tender (approximately 1-2 hours). Add more water if needed.
In a separate pan, cook the bacon until it becomes crispy. Remove excess fat, leaving about 2 tablespoons in the pan.
Sauté the chopped onion and minced garlic in the bacon fat until softened.
Add the pork shoulder chunks to the pan and brown them on all sides.
Transfer the cooked bacon, pork, and sautéed onions and garlic into the pot with the beans.
Add the sliced smoked sausage, chorizo, bay leaves, salt, and pepper to the pot. Stir well.
Simmer the feijoada over low heat for 1-2 hours, allowing the flavors to meld and the meats to become tender.
Adjust seasoning if needed and remove the bay leaves before serving.
Serve the gluten-free Feijoada hot over white rice, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
