The Market Table offers a refreshing contrast to the rich and savory feijoada. Expect fresh, light, and acidic flavors from the salads and vegetables, while the feijoada is deeply savory, smoky, and rich with pork and bean flavors.
The market table features an array of fresh ingredients, including leafy greens, tomatoes, cucumbers, bell peppers, and sometimes tropical fruits like mango or pineapple. Dressings are typically vinaigrette-based, offering acidity to balance the feijoada. Feijoada itself is flavored with various cuts of pork (often including smoked sausage, bacon, and salted pork), black beans, garlic, onions, and bay leaves. The stew is cooked for an extended period, allowing the flavors to meld and deepen.
Premium Feature
Balance the Richness
Pair the feijoada with lighter salads and vegetables from the market table to cut through the richness and heaviness of the stew. Vinaigrette dressings are particularly effective.
Don't Skip the Orange Slices
Orange slices are often served with feijoada. Their acidity and sweetness help to cleanse the palate and aid digestion.
Consider the Accompaniments
Feijoada is often served with rice, farofa (toasted cassava flour), and collard greens. These accompaniments add texture and complement the stew's flavors.
