About Feijão de Óleo de Palma
Feijao de oleo de palma is an Angolan bean preparation centred on palm oil. Raquel B. de Sousa's published rendition brings together cooked beans with chopped onion and garlic.
The aromatics first soften in palm oil, and the beans then cook down with more of the oil until their sauce thickens. The bean variety is left open in this account.
Grilled carapau, ripe banana and toasted cassava flour accompany the beans. These additions place the soft, richly coated beans beside fish, fruit and a dry cassava element at the table.
