How to prepare it step by step?

Preparation

1. Rinse the black beans and let them soak overnight. Cook beans in boiling water until tender, about 1-1.5 hours. Drain and reserve.
2. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the peppered pork and shoulder until golden brown and aromatic. Remove and reserve.
3. In the same pot, add more oil if necessary and sauté the onion, garlic, and celery until soft and translucent.
4. Add the chorizo and blood sausage, cooking until they release their rich, smoky aroma.
5. Add the chopped tomatoes, cooked beans, reserved meat, bay leaf, cumin, salt, and pepper. Cover with water or broth until all ingredients are submerged.
6. Cook over low heat for 2-3 hours, stirring occasionally, until the flavors are well integrated and the meat is tender and falling apart.
7. Serve the feijoada hot with white rice, decorated with lemon slices and green onions.
