I lived in Brazil (Porto Alegre) way back in the 60s. That was gaucho
country. At a churrasco, they served a side dish made with black beans
and some meat called feijoada. It was often served over rice.

I have tried a couple of recipes off the Internet, but was
disappointed. Usually it was too spicy. The feijoada I remember was
much milder.

I'd be happy with a meatless version.

Does anyone know of a gaucho recipe for feijoada?
