''Feijoada'' is a common name given to dishes from Portuguese-speaking countries such as [[Portugal]], [[Brazil]], [[Angola]], [[East Timor]], [[Mozambique]], and [[Macau]], where it is made from a mixture of meat and white, black, or red beans, usually accompanied by rice.

== History ==
Meat (pork) stew with vegetables can be traced to [[ancient Roman cuisine]].<ref name="Super Interessante">{{cite web |title=A feijoada não é invenção brasileira.

The creation and name of ''feijoada'' are related to Portuguese ways of making it, from the regions of [[Estremadura Province (historical)|Estremadura]], [[Beira (Portugal)|Beiras]], [[Trás-os-Montes]] and [[Douro DOC|Alto Douro]], which mix various types of beans - except black beans (of American origin) - sausages, ears and pigs' feet.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web |title=Feijoada nasceu em Portugal, mas foi no Brasil que virou paixão culinária |url=https://www.uol.com.br/nossa/noticias/redacao/2022/12/14/feijoada-nasceu-em-portugal-mas-foi-no-brasil-que-virou-paixao-culinaria.htm |access-date=2023-09-05 |website=www.uol.com.br |language=pt-br}}</ref>

The Portuguese version of ''feijoada'' originates mainly in the north of the country, where it is cooked with white beans in the northwest ([[Minho (river)|Minho]] and Douro) or red beans in the northeast ([[Trás-os-Montes]]), and usually also includes other vegetables (tomatoes, carrots or kale) along with pork or beef, to which chorizo, [[blood sausage]] or ''farinheira'' can be added.<ref name=":0" />
