Brazilian Black Bean Stew

This is an awesome Brazilian black bean stew recipe. One of friends lived in Brazil for two years and said this tasted just like something he would have eaten there.You can also use frozen mango add during the last ten minutes of cooking since your fresh ones were unripe. If you’re tempted to skip the fresh cilantro or the Chile pepper, don’t! The cilantro pairs beautifully with the mango to give what would be a hearty, traditional stew, a very fresh, lighter, sweeter flavor. The Chile adds just the right amount of heat without detracting from the other flavors. You will definitely be making this great Brazilian black bean stew cooking recipe again.
