Feijão — a type of black bean; one of the tastiest and most nourishing Brazilian stews.

1/2 kg feijão (black beans)

200 g beef, cut into pieces suitable for cooking

1 dry (or medium) onion

3 garlic cloves

2 cinnamon sticks

Salt, to taste

Accompanying salad:

White cabbage

Lemon juice (or to taste)

Olive oil

Toasted bread and white rice, for serving

Rinse the feijão and soak in water for 6 hours.
After soaking, place the feijão in a pot, cover with fresh water and boil until tender.
Cook the beef with the cinnamon sticks, salt and the onion in a pressure cooker for 20 minutes. (You can simmer it in a regular pot, but it will take longer.)
Once the beef and beans are each cooked separately, combine them in a serving dish with a little of the bean-cooking liquid.
In a frying pan, sauté the minced garlic in oil and spoon it over the beans and meat.
Serve Brazilian feijão with toasted bread, the cabbage salad and white rice.

Salad preparation:

Finely shred the cabbage and dress with lemon juice, olive oil and salt to taste; toss to combine.
