How to Prepare Feijoada (Brazilian Black Bean Stew) [Vegan, Gluten-Free]

  1. Set the pressure cooker to "sauté" and add a splash of vegetable broth or water and the onions, carrots, bell pepper, and garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about five minutes. Add the cumin through the black pepper and cook for another minute or so. Add the red wine and cook for another 1-2 minutes, then add the bay leaves, sausage, broth, black beans, and soy curls. Stir to combine the ingredients.
  2. Cover/close the pressure cooker and change the setting to Bean/Chili. Set the time to 30 minutes.
  3. After 30 minutes, let the cooker depressurize, carefully uncover and test the beans. If they are soft and falling apart a little, then the stew is done! If not, stir and crank up the pressure cooker for additional time.
  4. Serve the feijoada with chopped avocado, chopped onions, cilantro – whatever strikes your fancy.
