Feijoada is considered by some as Brazil’s national dish – a stew of beans with a variety of beef and pork cuts. It is typically served with rice and accompanied by chopped fried collard greens, lightly roasted coarse cassava flour, and peeled and sliced oranges. Caipirinhas and other typical beverages make it a perfect occasion to treat employees, friends, and clients alike. Please visit www.brazilchamber.org for more details and sponsorship opportunities.
