HAVE A TRY!!!!!

I am thinking togay its the bigger challenge given me in this Blog, why?!?!
Because today I have to teach some Brazilian recipe, I know sounds easy but the point is: I DONT KNOW HOW TO COOKING NOTHING!!!!
From that information I am not responsable for the resulte of your Brazilian dish. =)

One of the most popular Brazilians Dish is Fejoada. COOL!!! What does it meas??!?!
Its a dish made from black beans which falls in between a soup and a stew, YEAH! I know sounds a bit different but believe me, ITS DELICIOUS!!!!! For sure when MY Mum makes its DELICIOUS. I havent try to make specially because I love my family, my friend and myself. =)) But if you have a good hand to cooking I must to make it.
You will love it!!!!
Its very easy ( Someone told me and I did believe).

Preparation

Pick over and rinse:2 cups black beans
Drain the beans and transfer to a soup pot.
Add:4 cups water bring to a boil, reduce the heat and leave simmer, partially covered, mixing occasionally, for 1 1/2 hours. Meanwhile, bring a medium saucepan of water to a boil. Pierce in several places with a fork:8 ounces hot Italian sausage (optional)

Add to the pot and boil until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center of a sausage registers 160°F, about 45 minutes. Drain, rinse with cold water, and slice into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Set aside. Heat in a medium skillet over medium-low heat:1/4 cup olive oil

Add:1 onion, chopped1 green bell pepper, chopped4 cloves garlic, mincedCook until the vegetables are tender but not brown, 7 to 10 minutes.

Add:1 teaspoon ground cumin3/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes3/4 teaspoon ground cardamomStir and cook for 1 minute, remove from the heat, and add to the beans after they have cooked for 1 1/2 hours. Cook until the beans are very tender, about 30 minutes more.

Add:3/4 cup orange juice1/4 cup dry sherry1 to 2 teaspoons salt, or to tasteCook for 15 minutes more, or longer if desired.
