Method

Soak the black beans overnight, then drain.
Brown the large pieces of beef, the smoked beef sausages and the salted dried beef in a deep pot until well browned on the outside.
Add the onion, garlic and bay leaves and fry for 2 minutes.
Add the soaked beans with plenty of water or stock, cover and simmer very gently for 2 to 3 hours, until the beans are tender and creamy and the meat is fully cooked.
Season with salt and pepper. Serve with white rice, sautéed collard greens (couve), farofa and orange slices. This is a fully halal beef version adapted from the traditional Brazilian recipe.
