Feijoada With Spicy Lime Sauce Recipe

Feijoada is the national dish of Brazil, although it can be found in almost all of the countries that were once part of the Portuguese empire. It is based on a bean stew from traditional regional Portuguese cuisine and is a very hearty, filling extravaganza. Like all stews it can be made in advance and reheated when ready to serve which, of course, makes it a great dish to feature when deeply involved in Brazilian literature.Adapted from "A Reader's Cookbook" by Judith Choate.
