Instructions:

Soak beans in three liters of cold water for one night. In the soaking water with the ham bone do one hour and 30 min. Remove the bones. Add sausages and smoked meat to beans form and continue cooking at low temperature for 45 min. Add selchkaree and do another 45 min. From the cooked bacon fry a little bit of chopped fat, diced onion and crushed garlic in 20 grams of hot lard. Strain two soup ladles of beans through a sieve or crush them in a hand mixer and add to the onions. Bring to a boil while stirring. Add the mashed beans to the remaining bean form. For the sauce, halve, seed and finely chop chilies. Crush in a mortar with salt and juice of one lemon. Fold in two tablespoons of bean liquid and the chopped kitchen herbs. Steam cabbage strips in remaining lard for about 10 minutes, stirring until tender. Season well with salt and freshly ground pepper. Peel oranges until thick enough to remove white skin. Cut the fruit into slices. Cut the meat into pieces or slices. Arrange on top of beans. Add pepperoni sauce, cabbage and oranges to the table.

The original version of the Brazilian national dish also includes pigs’ feet, ears and tails.
