Domingo Gordo (Fat Sunday), AKA Feijoada Day

feijoada @ Mother-In-Law Restaurante for Domingo Gordo

The Prato do Dia at Mother-in-Law Restaurante is highly predictable today: feijoada (bean stew). As is expected on Domingo Gordo, the Fat Sunday before Fat Tuesday, which I like to call Feijoada Day. This is one of my favorite dishes at Mother-in-Law Restaurante, highly anticipated and seldom made. THIS is the dish I wish would edge out bacalhau at Christmas!
