AZORE-STYLE FEIJOS (BEANS)
An Old World bean soup recipe given to me by my husband's cousin's grandparents who are from the Portuguese Azore Islands. You can follow the spice trade route with this recipe. Pity that pink beans are not used much in cooking. They are so delicious! This makes the house smell so good! Can easily be prepared vegetarian.

Steps:
- *NOTE: Can also substitute sausage for the bacon or ham hock. Portuguese linguica, Spanish chorizo or Louisiana andouille, vegetarian "soyrizo", etc. are suggestions. My preference being bacon as I don't care for sausage or ham hock.
- For additional flavor, I usually dry roast the spices in a castiron skillet.
- Soak the beans overnight. Cook the bacon or ham hock and drain on paper towel. Next saute the onion and garlic. Once cooled, break up the bacon into little pieces.
- In large Dutch oven or in crock pot, combine all the ingredients, including the water, excluding the salt. If using a Dutch oven, simmer the beans on medium-low for about 1 1/2 to 2 hours or until beans are soft.
- If using a crock pot simmer on low 8 hours or until beans are soft. Salt the beans once cooked.
- Adjust seasoning before serving. Now season with salt.
- Remove whole cloves, cinnamon stick and whole allspice.
- Great with freshly baked, crusty bread. Tastes even better if prepared one day ahead then warmed.

AZORES FOOD PRIMER: 10 ESSENTIAL FOODS AND DRINKS FROM …
From foodrepublic.com
- Cheese. Probably the best known local product is the cheese, which is so good you find it commonly in mainland Portugal, where 50 percent of the cheese comes from the Azores, says Rocha.
- Seafood. Not surprisingly, these isolated islands surrounded by cool Atlantic waters are able to haul in a lot of seafood. Tuna is big here — literally.
- Tropical fruit. Pineapples, bananas, and passion fruit (oh my) are just some of the tropical fruits growing in the Azores’ astoundingly fertile microclimates.
- Cozido de Furnas. Most visitors to the Azores spend time on São Miguel island, since many international flights land at Ponta Delgada airport there. And most of them (including Anthony Bourdain on television’s No Reservations) also visit the town of Furnas to see a beloved Portuguese stew known as cozido cook in holes known as fumaroles that are dug in hot volcanic soil.
- Wine. Even though my Airbnb host on São Jorge, when recommending a restaurant, advised me to “be sure to ask for the mainland wine,” the Azores are producing some great vinhos — particularly the whites coming from Pico island.
- Beef. Like the happy dairy cows, cattle destined for the plate lead idyllic lives munching on neon-green grass that never needs to be watered, which means you can get some darn good beef on the islands.
- Soups and stews. Speaking of alcatra, that and other soups and stews are a huge part of Azorean cuisine, which is at its heart a cucina povera that’s all about making something delicious out of limited ingredients.
- Carbs. As a historic seat of Portuguese Catholic power, the Azores had many convents back in the day, each producing their own typical pastries. Many of these can still be found in bakeries around the islands.
- Tea. The only tea plantations in Europe? Right here in the Azores. In Ribeira Grande on São Miguel, you can visit the two old-school producers, Chá Gorreana and Chá Porto Formoso.
- Coffee. Not only can you get a great espresso at any old café around the Azores (it’s still Portugal, after all), but São Jorge island is home to one of the few European microclimates where the beans grow well.
