Being Catholic, for lent, I gave up meat and fish. All of it. I’m a vegetarian for 40 days! And for those who live in Brazil, or know anything about Brazilian cuisine… it’s not an easy task. Fortunately, a couple of my friends from work are vegetarians, so they’ve been able to help me out a little bit with my temporary diet.<\/p>\n
One thing that I’ve learned exists during this challenge<\/em> of mine, is vegetarian feijoada <\/em>(pronounced fay-ju-ah-dah)! <\/em>We mentioned feijoada<\/a><\/em> a while ago, and for those who don’t know, feijoada<\/em> is a dish that is anything BUT vegetarian! It’s a black bean stew with anything and everything pork and\/or beef – from sausage to feet to tail (yes, TAIL!). It’s usually served with white rice, collard greens (very thinly sliced, unlike soul-food style), farofa<\/em>, and slices of orange. It’s one of my favorite meals, and being \u00a0a vegetarian has made it difficult. \u00a0So I decided to look up a recipe for feijoada vegetariana<\/em><\/a>, and I’ll probably try to make some this week (and let you all know how it turns out)!<\/p>\n For those of you who aren’t too willing to try pork feet, this might be a good way for you to experience feijoada without all the not so desirable ingredients!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Feijoada Vegetariana <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Ingredientes: <\/em><\/span><\/p>\n Modo de preparo<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n —-<\/p>\n Vegetarian Feijoada<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Ingredients: <\/em><\/span><\/p>\n Directions<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n E bom apetite! <\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Being Catholic, for lent, I gave up meat and fish.
