My Brazilian Feijoada image

A co-worker's mom used to make this dish for him and it was his favorite. So I made him my own version. Instead of sausage you can use ham hocks, or substitute lean white meat for the red meat if you prefer. -Christiane Counts, Webster, Texas

I'm vegan, so I substituted the meat with lentils. It turned out great!

This feijoada was very time-consuming to make. I think I would use a slow cooker next time to make it easier.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. I think I would add more spices next time. Other than that, it was a good dish.

This feijoada was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I would reduce the amount of salt in the recipe by half next time. Other than that, it was a very good dish.

I've never had feijoada before, but I was really impressed with this recipe. It was very flavorful and satisfying. I especially liked the combination of the beans, meat, and vegetables. I will definitely be making this again.

I'm Brazilian, and I grew up eating feijoada. This recipe is very authentic, and it tastes just like my grandmother's. The only thing I would change is to add a little more salt. Other than that, it's perfect.

I've made this feijoada several times now, and it's always a crowd-pleaser. It's a bit time-consuming to make, but it's definitely worth the effort. The flavors are incredible, and the meat is always fall-off-the-bone tender. I highly recommend this
