To be clear, this is not an authentic Brazilian Feijoada - it is a bean stew with similar flavours to evoke a richness that the meat usually gives.

Instructions

Step 1

Coat the sweet potato in the oil and a pinch of salt, and roast at 200 degrees Celsius until soft, about 20 minutes. Set aside.

Step 2

Make the feijoada by sautéing the onion and garlic in the oil, and gradually adding the vegetables. Deglaze with the white wine vinegar, and add all the remaining ingredients. Simmer until the breads are ready.

Step 3

Preheat an oven to 170 degrees celsius. Use the olive oil spray to grease mini muffin pans. The recipe here makes about 30 bread snacks. Combine all the other ingredients in a large bowl and use an electric mixer or hand beaters to combine. Make sure all the tapioca flour is combined by scraping it off the sides of the bowl and beating. Spoon it into the mini muffin tin up to 3/4 full, and bake for 15 minutes, until pale golden on top.

Step 4

Add the cooked sweet potato to the feijoada mixture and stir through, before turning off the heat. Serve with the Pão de Quejio.
