NOTES : Feijoada, the national dish of Brazil, is a boisterous black bean stew

brimming with robust flavors (feijao means beans in Portuguese). The dish is

served everywhere in Brazil, from beach-side stands to the finest restaurants.

This version captures the spirit of feijoada minus the meat. Chipotle pepper

adds a veneer of smoky heat.
