I’ve heard that feijoada, the traditional Brazilian black bean stew, is sometimes eaten with slices of orange, to offset and freshen the richness in the beans. I got inspired by that flavour pairing to make this incredible dish. Whether you’re vegan, veggie or not, I promise you’ll love it.

    Thank you Cassidy <3 This dish really highlights the flavour of the black beans with subtle but complementary flavours. It's been a favourite in the Mob office!

    the beans were very bland, they definitely needed more flavour than smoked paprika. there was rather a lot of tofu. the orange salsa lifted a boring meal

    This was absolute winner tonight! I added chipotle paste to the beans after seeing comments of blandness & served with steamed white fish for extra protein

    Made this for tea last night. I liked the tofu although I think it needed a marinade prior to flouring and baking. Really enjoyed the orange salsa and would make again!But found myself double and triple checking the recipe to make sure I hadn't missed something ... the beans were bland and there seemed to be far too many of them! I would definitely make this again but halve the beans and include some spicy rice. Otherwise the dish just isn't filling enough (unless you want to eat a LOT of black beans).

    The salsa was nice. I’d make that again. The rest was underwhelming. Not unpleasant, just a bit bland.
