B is for Brazilian Black Beans

Mrs. Nesbitt's ABC Wednesday round 4
was launched last week.
To B or not to B. That is the question this week.

Granddaughter Myrtle has been with us this last week before returning to to Brazil to further her archeological research for her PhD. dissertation. She will receive her degree in June from the University of California Santa Barbara. Above you see a delicious Brazilian dish featuring Black Beans (called feijoada) that Myrtle prepared for us yesterday.

After soaking the Brazilian Black Beans overnight, she stewed them with a generous quantity of onions and garlic...

in a Blue pot over a Blue flame...

then Browned pork...

and added the pork, Browned steak

and plenty of spicy sausage to the Black Beans...

so that her grandfather and I could enjoy it spooned over rice with traditional orange slices and green salad. Yum! It reminded us of happy years we have spent in Brazil. Myrtle also shot these photos of the steps of preparation because she knew I wanted a B entry for ABC Wednesday. What a thoughtful granddaughter!
