Instant Pot Feijoada (Brazilian Beans & Rice)

November 14, 2017

A few weeks ago I got my first Instant Pot, and I love it SO much, I am feeling pretty silly for taking so long to catch on! One thing I have been excited to make in it, is Brazilian beans and rice. My husband served his church mission in Brazil, so this is what he ate pretty much every day for two years straight, and loved it. In Brazil they season everything with a spice blend called “Tempero Baiano” which is impossible to find here, but very easy to create using common spices found in your kitchen cupboard. I have made beans and rice at least once a week since I got my Instant Pot, and today I was so excited to finally perfect the recipe, and be able to share it! 

Instant Pot Feijoada (Brazilian Beans & Rice)

Serves: 8
Prep Time: 10 mins

Ingredients

  • 4 slices bacon, cut into 1/2 inch pieces
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 Linguisa (chorizo) Sausage Links, sliced
  • 5-6 cloves garlic, pressed or minced
  • 1 Lb dry Black beans
  • 5 tsp {herb ox} chicken bouillon
  • 5 cups water
    {For the Tempero baiano}
  • 1 tablespoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1/2 tsp coriander
  • 1/2 tsp tumeric
  • 1/2 tsp white pepper
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne
  • 1 tsp oregano

Instructions

1. Preheat the Instant Pot by turning on the sauté mode. Place beans in a fine mesh strainer, pick out any with impurities, and rinse.
2. Add the bacon, onion, sausage and garlic and stir for 2-3 minutes.
3. Add the beans, bouillon and water, and spices. Stir to combine and secure lid. Cook on high pressure for 40 minutes, and then release steam from pot. If desired, lightly smash some beans on the side of the pot (this will thicken them), season with additional salt and pepper if desired, and let cool for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

Serve over white rice, and with Brazilian Cheese Rolls.

    I just made this for my Brazilian wife and it turned out great! I’ve made other feijoada recipes on the stovetop using canned beans and while good the color was never right. It would turn out more brown than black. This recipe with the dry beans tastes great and the color is perfect!

    I lived in Brazil for two years when I was 3 to 5 years old and have amazing memories of just about everything. One set of memories revolve around an amazing family who lived below us. They would leave gifts, take me places, and just treat me wonderfully, like every child should be. One thing they did was make feijoada every single day and I would look forward to it every single time. I have tried and tried to replicate that flavor and texture, but have failed too many times to count. This recipe brought everything back to me and is wonderful. I added some dried pork ribs (i think that’s what it was) and a bit more linguisa, but these were meaningless in the face of how much this just tasted and felt right. Thanks so much and will follow your recipes to come. Gordon

    I don’t have an Instant Pot, do you think I can make this exact recipe in my pressure cooker?

    Today, I went to the beach with my children. I found a sea shell
    and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.”
    She put the shell too herr ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear.

    She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is totally off topic but I had to tell someone!

    I was watching Final Table on Netflix and I got to the episode on Brazil. They discussed the culture and cuisine and the judges chose feijoada as the dish for the chefs to make. When I watched what was in it and how rich and flavorful it appeared to be, I knew I had to try in my instant pot. I just finished it and the cheese rolls (super easy to make). I’m serving them with braised collard greens, rice and orange slices. My kitchen smells amazing!
    Thank you for sharing this recipe!
