After yesterday’s not so popular combo meals, today I present you a very popular dish Feijoada. Pronounced as fay-zhwah-duh, this is considered as the national dish of Brazil. Usually feijoda is slow cooked in an earthen pot with black beans and meat. But today I am posting a simple version of beans with out meat. When served with rice this is called as Feijão com arroz. As black beans is not available in my place I used a smaller variety of rajma. This is not very spicy and is very easy to put together.
As a whole meal, feijoada is served with white rice, banana frita and sliced oranges. I was planning on another side dish with greens, but as I couldn’t get spinach on that day I skipped it. When I first read about banana frita, I thought it is made with raw banana. But after some time of searching recipes, I came to know that it is made with ripe bananas and I was so sceptical. And I felt the same about the oranges too. But when combined together it made a great meal and all the dishes tasted good together.

Wow Gayatri you really have researched all countries. Here I am finding it difficult to pronounce the name but it sure sounds delicious.
I once tried a Brazilian dish and it was a stew with chicken and ripe bananas – I too initially thought it was plantain but eventhough I was skeptical I tried it with the ripe banana and no one was more surprised when I actually liked it. It was for a dinner party and it was a big hit. I am sure this with the banana was a great combo also!
Love the whole platter and dish so inviting..
Lovely spread and that banana dish really caught my attention among the dishes.
