Chef Tips

- Frite o bacon em fogo médio sem óleo adicional; a própria gordura derretida servirá de base para dourar a cebola e o alho - Retire duas conchas de feijão cozido, amasse em uma tigela e retorne ao caldo nos 10 minutos finais para encorpar o molho - Acerte o sal somente após juntar o bacon frito ao feijão, pois o bacon defumado já transfere quantidade expressiva de sódio

Variations

- Feijão com bacon e calabresa adicionando 100g de linguiça calabresa fatiada fina frita junto com os cubos de bacon - Feijão tropeiro usando os grãos de feijão com bacon escorridos, misturados com farinha de milho, couve e ovos - Versão apimentada acrescentando uma pimenta-dedo-de-moça picadinha sem sementes ao refogado de cebola e alho

Substitutions

- O feijão carioca pode ser substituído por feijão preto tradicional, feijão carioquinha novo ou feijão vermelho - O bacon defumado pode ser substituído por pancetta curada, lombo defumado picadinho ou costelinha de porco salgada dessalgada - A cebola picada pode ser substituída por alho-poró picado finamente para um toque aromático mais suave no refogado

How to Store

Store in a sealed glass container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. The broth thickens significantly upon cooling; When reheating in the pan over medium heat, add a few tablespoons of hot water, stirring frequently to regain the silky fluidity.

Can You Freeze It?

Freezes perfectly in airtight containers for up to 90 days in the freezer. To defrost, transfer the container to the refrigerator the day before or place the frozen block in a pot with a quarter cup of water over low heat covered.

What to Serve With

Serve over fluffy white rice, accompanied by grilled pork chop or chicken fillet, crispy garlic farofa, and sauteed collard greens. Fresh orange segments and tomato vinaigrette balance the bacon fat perfectly.
