Summary: <br> Any discussion of Brazil’s iconic dishes is <br> incomplete without an in-depth look at the country’s national dish- feijoada <br> completa. Feijoada is more than just a bean stew… it is a cultural rite of <br> passage. Opting for a taste of carioca style feijoada, we travel to Ipanema to <br> pay a visit to a true Rio classic - Chef Gilberto Araújo’s Casa da Feijoada. <br> Many legends mistakenly attribute feijoada to the slave kitchen, but the <br> Portuguese consumed feijoada before they ever colonized Brazil. Feijoada <br> completa refers to the “whole meal,” served with the principal dish of stewed <br> beans cooked with 11 different types of smoked or cured pork meats, and sausages. <br> <br> For recipes, visit <a href="http://www.ciaprochef.com/WCA">www.ciaprochef.com/WCA</a> <br> <br> <br> <a href="http://cia.podbean.com/mf/web/qwbwut/Brazil_13_Feijoada_YT.mov">Download Podcast Video</a><br>
