Easy Brazilian Black Bean Stew

Easy Brazilian Black Bean Stew

Traditional Brazilian black bean stew (feijoada) can take quite some time to prepare. Considering I spend most of my time chasing after two small children, I’ve come up with this recipe for a very quick feijoada. This goes very well with white rice.

Ingredients

  • 2 strips bacon, diced
  • ½ cup minced onion
  • ½ cup minced green bell pepper
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro (Optional)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 2 (15 ounce) cans black beans, drained
  • ½ cup chicken broth, or more as needed
  • 1 teaspoon vinegar
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 dash hot sauce to taste (Optional)

Directions

Step 1
Cook bacon in a pot over medium heat until almost crisp, 3 to 5 minutes. Add onion and green pepper to bacon; cook and stir until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Mix in cilantro, garlic, and bay leaf; cook and stir until flavors combine, 1 to 2 minutes.

Step 2
Stir beans, chicken broth, vinegar, salt, pepper, and hot sauce into the onion mixture; cover and let simmer until the flavors combine, 10 to 15 minutes. Add more chicken broth if you would like the beans to be more soupy.
