  • About

“This condiment is perfect to add acidity and helps to bring all the flavours in Feijoada together. It’s not essential, but for me it’s worth the extra step. You can make it while the Feijoada is cooking.”

Ingredients

  • 1 large onion
  • 1 small red chilli
  • 1½ tablespoons white vinegar</

Method

  1. Dice the onion and red chilli (deseed if you prefer less heat).
  2. Transfer the onion to a bowl, add the vinegar, salt and black pepper and stir.
  3. Add the chilli, then the olive oil and stir. Set aside for 20 minutes to allow the flavours to infuse.
