🇵🇹 Portugal recipe

Feijoada à Transmontana

The hearty bean stew of the Trás-os-Montes region in northern Portugal, a mountainous area known for its cold winters and robust cuisine. Unlike its Brazilian cousin, the Portuguese feijoada uses white or red beans and is loaded with an extravagant variety of pork cuts and smoked sausages. It is a dish that warms the soul, built for sharing around a table on a cold winter day.
