BRAZILIAN PORK & BLACK BEAN STEW
During high school, I spent a year in Brazil and fell in love with the culture and food. One of my favorite dishes was feijoada, a chili/stew served over white rice. I introduced this easy recipe to my family, and it has become one of our favorite comfort foods. -Andrea Romanczyk, Magna, Utah

Steps:
- You want to soak the beans overnight, so measure out the 3 cups and go through the beans to take out any bad ones (really shriveled or discolored). It's an extra step, but worth it because bad beans are nasty if left inches Put beans in a bowl and cover with water. Next day, dump water and you are ready to go.
- Cut up bacon and fry to a crisp. Chop up into small pieces. Use some of the bacon grease and sauté onions and garlic. Put beans, fresh water, onion/garlic, and bacon into a crock pot. Add salt until the water tastes pretty salty, like you would want it to taste when done cooking. Add bay leaves and cook on high for 6 hours.
- Something else that makes it really good (and really Brazilian) is to eat it with a salad made with just lettuce, tomato and dressed with lime juice, olive oil, and salt (I actually put the salt right on the lettuce then add the dressing and toss). My favorite thing to do is have a bite of rice, beans, and salad all together.

Steps:
- Beans (Soaking): Rinse and sort beans. Cook beans with water in the pressure cooker for 30-40 minutes (I like to soak overnight, then cook for several hours in a crock pot).
- Marinade: Combine all marinade ingredients. Marinade meat for an hour or two.
- Onion Mixture: In frying pan, add oil. Cook onion, garlic and meat cubes.
- After meat is cooked, reserve about 1/4 of mixture for the rice (reserving the large pieces of meat for the beans).
- Beans: Add bacon to pan with onion mixture.
- After bacon is cooked, add the cooked beans and some water until it is a little thick (I like to add all the frying pan ingredients to the crock pot and cook for several more hours).
- Rice: Bring water to boiling. Add rice, salt and reserved onion mixture. Simmer for 20 minutes.

Tips:
- Soak the beans overnight before cooking to reduce cooking time and improve digestibility.
- Use a slow cooker with a capacity of at least 4 quarts to accommodate all the ingredients.
- Add plenty of liquid to the slow cooker to prevent the beans from drying out. A good rule of thumb is to use 2 cups of liquid for every 1 cup of beans.
- Season the beans with salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. Common seasonings used in Brazilian cuisine include garlic, onion, cumin, paprika, and bay leaves.
- Cook the beans on low heat for 8-10 hours, or until they are tender and creamy.
- Serve the beans with rice, vegetables, or meat. They can also be used as a filling for tacos, burritos, and other dishes.
