Start by rinsing 2 cups of black beans (carioquinha).

Place the beans in a pressure cooker and add 1 teaspoon of salt.

Cover the beans with approximately 1 to 1.5 liters of hot water.

Cook the beans for 10-15 minutes in the pressure cooker, checking after 10 minutes.

Once cooked, drain the beans and set aside.

In a deep pan, heat 1 tablespoon of lard (or oil) until hot.

Fry 3 eggs one at a time, adding a pinch of salt to each egg while frying.

Remove the fried eggs and set aside.

In the same pan, add 250g of diced bacon and fry until crispy.

Add 220g of sliced calabresa sausage to the bacon and fry until cooked through.

Remove some excess fat from the pan to avoid greasiness.

Add 1 medium chopped onion to the pan and sauté until translucent.

Add 5 cloves of minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, being careful not to burn them.

Add 2 chopped peppers for flavor.

Sprinkle in colorau and black pepper to taste.

Add the cooked black beans to the pan and mix well with the meat and vegetables.

Chop 5 leaves of collard greens into strips and add them to the mixture, stirring until wilted.

Chop the reserved fried eggs and add them to the pan.

If desired, add pimenta biquinho for extra flavor.

Finally, mix in 1 cup of cornmeal (farinha de mandioca) until well combined.
