Looks delicious; isn't it? Now, if you are wondering what is feijoada, let us explain it to you for better understanding. Much like our desi rajma curry, it is a stew prepared using rajma and meat (preferably, pork). The name feijoada comes from the word 'feijao', which means 'beans' in Portuguese. Besides rajma, this recipe also sees use of black beans, brown beans and vegetables including potatoes, carrots, cabbage and pumpkin - the recipe varies from region to region. Feijoada is traditionally prepared in clay pot, using slow-cooking process. It makes for a wholesome meal when paired with rice.
