Feijoada is Brazil's national dish, enjoyed by everyone from the favelas to the ritziest neighborhoods. Though extremely rich, this stew is absolutely delicious and satisfying. It's also very flexible, though a "typical" recipe may ask for calabresa and paio sausages, as well as the ears and snouts of pigs - you can freely substitute with what's available to you or what's more to your liking.
