    Title: Claudia's Famous Feijoada
    Categories: Beans, Pork, Herbs, Chilies, Vegetables
    Yield: 7 Servings

    32 oz Bag dried black beans
    3 sl Good bacon
    1 lg Onion; peeled, diced
    5 cl Garlic; peeled. diced
    3 Links chorizo; sliced
    3 Smoked ham hocks (do not
    - skip this intgredient)
    2 Bay leaves
    1 bn Fresh thyme
    1/2 tb Cumin
    1 tb Crushed red pepper; or more
    1 tb Dried Oregano
    Beef or Chicken stock;
    - enough to cover beans
    Salt & pepper

    DAY 1: Rinse beans and soak them overnight. The water
    will turn black from the beans. (I don’t suggest using
    canned beans - it’s not the same).

    DAY 2: Set oven @ 300°F/150°C

    In a dutch oven, put a couple tablespoons of oil and put
    diced bacon, cook ‘til crisp.

    Add onion and sweat until translucent.

    Add garlic, sauté until fragrant.

    Then add chorizo, sauté that for a couple minutes until
    chorizo is about fully cooked.

    Add bay leaves, thyme, cumin, oregano and red pepper,
    sauté for a minute until fragrant.

    Add the smoked hocks, sauté a couple minutes

    Add beans and sauté for a minute

    Pour enough stock to cover everything. Bring to boil and
    put in oven to simmer for about 2 to 2 1/2 hours. (Check
    on it once an hour to give the beans a stir.)

    When done, take the ham hocks out and take meat off the
    bones (the meat should just come off the bones). Discard
    bones and stir shredded meat in with the beans. Add salt
    & pepper to taste. (Whatever you do, do not add salt
    until the end. If you add salt any sooner it will make
    the skin in the beans tough). Serve with rice and a
    green salad .

    DAY 2 (OPTIONAL STEP): Take pot out and let cool.
    Refrigerate overnight.

    DAY 3 (OPTIONAL): Warm on stove over medium-high heat
    until it comes to a simmer. And serve.
