Variations: This can be used as a bean dip with chips, or mashed for refried beans. To roast peppers, hold over a gas burner or put under the broiler, rotating the peppers until they are charred black. Place in a paper bag and seal. This will allow the peppers to sweat. Peel off the charred skin and run under cold water. Seed and slice the peppers into thin strips. Serve the Feijoada over rice or pasta. Garnish with red pepper strips.
