This is a favorite home meal from my mom. My sister had to write while my mom cooked in order to get the recipe right. It's easy and will impress anyone. Serve steaming hot on a bed of white rice.

This recipe is from David Leite of Leite's Culinaria. My family and I love it so much. Wonderfully spicy. Beans need to soak overnight.
