Place the cubed sweet potato, pepper and red onion into a bowl then drizzle on the oil and a sprinkling of salt and pepper then stir well to cover. Take a piece of Bacofoil Non-Stick Foil then line a roasting tin with the dull non-stick side facing up. Scatter on the vegetables then cook in a pre heated oven set at 190oc / gas mark 5 for 30-35 minutes.

Gently cook the diced onion and garlic in a large saucepan with a dash of oil for 5 minutes, then add in the paprika, coriander, thyme and puree. Cook for a minute, then add in the beans and stock before bringing up to a simmer. Finally, add in the roasted vegetables from the Non-Stick Foil-lined tray and cook for 40 minutes.

Meanwhile, to make the salsa, finely chop the tomatoes, peppers, onion, chilli and coriander and place into a bowl. Season, then dress with lime juice and olive oil. Serve the feijoada with some wholegrain rice, a dollop of sour cream, the salsa and some fresh coriander

This looks really good. I love all the colours! Do you think it would work without the paprika and chili though? My OH can’t eat hot spices.
I’d think so, maybe add in some more garlic and lots of fresh herbs?
This looks so vibrant and I bet it’s delicious. I love Mexican food! We always buy Bacofoil, such great quality compared to other brands.
It absolutely is not worth skimping on things like good foil.
These look so good! I wish I had a plate now (for breakfast!)
It would make the perfect breakfast!
The stew sounds wonderful. I have never heard of that brand of paper, but I am in Canada. I will look for it.
I think that buying the cheap brands is a false economy.
This looks so gorgeous and satisfying. Love the mix of spice – so much flavour AND vegetarian too? Can’t wait to try!
Doesn’t it look lovely.
These roasted veggies are to die for. I can’t get over that gorgeous color. Wowza!
Isn’t it a lovely recipe
Helen, this is a lovely fejoada! We had a Brazilian student for a year, and for his going-away party, I made a traditional fejoada with a beef tongue as the centerpiece. It was a huge hit, but tons of work! This looks to have all the flavor in a fraction of the time. Pinning!
Sadly not my recipe! But one I need to try.
I love the look of this dish and those vegetables make my mouth water! So many colours! This is also healthy great as a midweek meal too.
Absolutely! I want to keep a bowl of it in the fridge.
I love Brazilian food. My friends husband is Brazilian and we always get great food when we go round and he cooks for us x
I’ve not really had that much Brazilian food, but this one does look a must try.
Oh my god this is literally perfect mmm I love everything in this Brazilian dish especially since I am Portuguese!
Isn’t it lovely – all that flavour, and it is good for you.
I love this dish and I always order it when we go out for Brazilian food. I am going to have to try making it myself.
Isn’t it lovely – all those coloured veggies.
Oh wow, love the colours and flavours in this one, Helen!
If you eat a variety of colours then the rest looks after its self!
Oh my gosh this looks so delicious, why have I never had this?! Just my kind of thing.
Delicious and packed with veggies!
