During this time, the slaves were given the worst cuts of meat, so in order to make them taste better, they simmered the meat in beans and spices for hours. Ironically, the food of the slaves became popular with the wealthy landowners, and over time became the national dish.<\/div>\n<p>Feijoada can have many different cuts of meat (some may have ten or more separate cuts!), but is often made with pork, beef, and sausages. Feijoada is eaten with rice, the Brazilian equivalent of collard greens, and <i>farofa<\/i>, cassava flour (pictured above, left). Sometimes, oranges are also eaten with feijoada. It is usually served at lunchtime and is a popular weekend dish, since it takes so long to make.<\/p>\n<p>To learn how to make feijoada, check out:<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.cooking.com\/Recipes-And-More\/RecDetail.aspx?rid=2684\">Cooking.com Recipe<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/receitas.maisvoce.globo.com\/Receitas\/Busca\/0,,7768,00.html?b=feijoada&amp;selecione=-1&amp;ordenacao=&amp;filtro=&amp;pagina=&amp;dataA=dd%2Fmm%2Faaaa&amp;dataB=dd%2Fmm%2Faaaa&amp;mes=8&amp;ano=2008&amp;mes2=8&amp;ano2=2008&amp;x=0&amp;y=0\">Globo&#8217;s 65 Different Feijoada Recipes<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.foodandwine.com\/recipes\/feijoada\">Food &amp; Wine.com Recipe<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/homecooking.about.com\/od\/soups\/r\/blss168.htm\">About.com Recipe<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/tudogostoso.uol.com.br\/receita\/2998-feijoada.html\">Tudogostoso.com Recipe<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.bomgarfo.com\/regioes\/aveiro\/feijoada_caseira_20060303385\/\">Bomgarfo.com Recipe<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In this new series, we&#8217;re going to look at a Brazilian dish, its origins, and how to prepare it, so that you can get a taste of Brazil as you study Brazilian Portuguese.
