 | | Feijoada completa is a buffet meal centered around a stew of fl beans, meat, and sausage. |
 | | The best parts of a feijoada to me are the side dishes: lots of fluffy steamed rice and farofa, a soft but firm stuffing-like dish made with manioc meal, or piroas (a chewy but crispy cracker bread that can have olives, raisins, coconut, or sliced vegetables in it). |
 | | The actual technique for feijoada would be to cook the beans until they are tender, then remove half and mash them with a fat (traditionally lard or butter, but vegans can use margarine), chopped onions, and minced garlic. |
