Method
Follow each step in order. Ingredient names are highlighted as you go.
- 01
Place the carioca bean and water in a pot. Simmer until the beans are tender but still hold their shape, then drain and reserve the cooking liquid.

Heat the vegetable oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the bacon and cook until it starts to brown.
- 03
Add the pork sausage and cook until well browned and 71°C (160°F) at the center.
- 04
Stir in the onion and cook until softened, then add the garlic and cook briefly until fragrant.
- 05
Add the cooked carioca bean and toss gently to coat in the fat and aromatics.
- 06
Add the collard greens and cook just until wilted.
- 07
Push the bean mixture to the side of the pan, pour in the eggs, and stir until fully set and 71°C (160°F), then fold them through the beans.
- 08
Sprinkle in the cassava flour gradually, stirring until the mixture becomes lightly crumbly rather than wet.
- 09
Season with the salt and black pepper, adding reserved bean liquid as needed if the mixture seems too dry.
