INSTRUCTIONS

least 2 inches above  beans and meat.  Bring to a boil. Cook over low heat
2-1/2 hours, or until meat and beans are well done. Add water if necessary

NOTES : "The epitome of the Brazilian kitchen is feijoada (fay-ZHWAH-dah) -
the national dish of the country.
This complicated mixture of beans, salted meats, sausages, and
rice is considered by inhabitants the king of all food.   However,
its preparation is so time consuming that the dish is hard to find
in restaurants.
A number of the ingredients, such as the preserved meat called
carne seca, are difficult if not impossible to find in the United
States, but these can be easily replaced.   For this simplified
version of Brazilian feijoada... you should be able to find all
the ingredients in most large food outlets."
