      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.
