Instructions
Wash produce before use
1
Prep the feijoada ingredients; start the salsa
- Peel and coarsely chop the onion. Transfer ½ cup [1 cup] onion to a medium bowl for the salsa.
- Remove the stem, ribs, and seeds from the bell pepper; coarsely chop the pepper. Transfer ½ cup [1 cup] pepper to the bowl with the onion.
- Finely chop, press, or grate the garlic.
- Rinse the black beans. Transfer half the beans to a small bowl; using a fork, masher, or the bottom of a bowl, mash to a coarse paste.
To the bowl with the reserved onion and bell pepper, stir in the orange juice, champagne vinegar, and green harissa; season to taste with salt and pepper. Let the salsa stand, stirring occasionally, while you prepare the feijoada.
2
Cook the feijoada
In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 1 to 2 tablespoons oil until hot but not smoking. Add the remaining onion and bell pepper, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables start to soften, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the pork or chicken, season lightly with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally to break into pieces, until the pork or chicken is warmed through and tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Stir in the whole and mashed beans and 1 cup [2 cups] water. Season with salt and pepper and bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the beans are heated through and the liquid has thickened, 4 to 6 minutes. Remove from the heat and season to taste with salt and pepper. While the feijoada is cooking, finish the salsa.

Finish the tomato salsa
Cut away the core from the tomato; coarsely chop the tomato.
To the bowl with the reserved onion and bell pepper, stir in the tomato and season to taste with salt and pepper.
Serve
