Feijoada
Feijoada is a delicious and traditional Brazilian dish that is often considered the national dish of Brazil. It is a hearty black bean stew that typically includes various cuts of pork, such as sausages, bacon, and pork ribs. It's usually served with rice, collard greens, farofa (toasted cassava flour), and orange slices.

Instructions
- Drain and rinse the soaked black beans. In a large pot, add the beans and cover with water. Bring to a boil and let it simmer until the beans are tender (usually about 1.5-2 hours). Make sure to skim any foam that forms on the surface.

- Add the assorted pork cuts to the pan and cook until they are browned and slightly crispy on the edges.
- Transfer the cooked pork and onion mixture to the pot of cooked beans. Stir well to combine. Add the bay leaves, salt, and pepper to taste.
- Let the Feijoada simmer on low heat for about 30-45 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
- While the Feijoada is simmering, prepare the rice, collard greens, and farofa according to your preference.
- Once the Feijoada is ready, serve it hot with rice, collard greens, farofa, and orange slices on the side.
