Feijoada à portuguesa

Feijoada is a hearty bean stew that appears in several local and international varieties. Although it is often assumed that feijoada originated in Brazil, where it is considered a national dish, it was primarily made in Portugal before it was introduced to Brazil.

The Portuguese version is believed to have originated in the north of Portugal, but today it appears in several versions throughout the country. It is usually made with red kidney or white beans, while the additions usually include pork, blood sausage (morcela), farinheira sausage, or chouriço.

Some variations also include vegetables. Similar versions of feijoada are found in most Portuguese colonies, including Brazil, Macau, Angola, Mozambique.
