Why they submitted this recipe:Feijoada is a favorite of my son's ever since he was able to start eating! It is a famous dish from Brazil typically eaten on Saturdays. My recipe is a fast version of this that can be made within minutes and can also stay on the stove and simmer away for the day. You should eat this with 1) rice, 2) a fresh chopped tomato, onion, and parsley salad, and 3) sauteed thinly sliced collard greens with garlic. If you want to go all the way also have fried bananas and sliced orange.
